Heh - we used to go to this antique/experimental fly-in in Orange, MA. They've got a long runway - like a mile or so. Anyway, all the planes are flying down the runway and landing half-way down...oh yeah - this is full-scale planes...anyway. Y'know? You're watching the old couple touch down 1/3 way down in their 182 and taxi for a freakin' mile while other planes are being waved off.....We were parked, in our motorhome club, along the taxiway which led TO the runway. It crossed the runway at a point maybe 100 feet from the beginning of the runway...is that understaandable?

Anyway - we just watched this T-28 or Chinese something-or-other trainer zoom down the runway in a low flyby.....and ya hear puttputtputtputt.....and this Cub slips in, puffing the dust at the very beginning of the runway and slows down enough to turn off onto the taxiway.....it was too cool - and refreshing to see.
