If you guys are commenting on the first picture I can see how that could look like I am flying near to a valley or from a raised field, rest assured that I enjoy no added benefit flying from this location than you do from yours, I have planted a few planes into good Ole mother earth in this location. ROFL

In all seriousness the picture is quite deceiving as the ground does slope away to a ravine but...... that picture was taken while I was lining up for approach to land maybe 150 yards out and the ravine you see behind me is about half a mile away The camera used to take that picture is a Leica SLR @ 300 mm lens. the picture quality was alot higher before I resized it for posting on the forums. Original picture size was 4000 ish by 3000 ish and over 9mb in size raw format.
