1. That's an impressive looking runway

for that harsh environment.

2. That is neat.

3. F that!

And that’s on a clear day! Can you imagine trying that in a squall?

It’s a De Havilland, though, so probably not as risky as it looks.

4. I didn't know runways came in at 100 meters.

8. Yeah that's short

I got to do touch and goes at Stewart airforce base before they turned it into an airport in a Cessna 152 (tiny two seater).

Google says their runways are
9/27 3,601.8 metres (11,817 ft) Asphalt
16/34 1,830.019 metres (6,004 ft) Asphalt

That was fun as hell. Those runways were LONG compared to this one.

5. Wo! But did it turn out OK? They didn't actually show the plane coming to a halt. nt

6. That's because it went off the end of the runway

I'm just kidding. Bad joke, I know.

7. MS Flight Sim or X-Plane? Looks like the Cessna cockpit, but could be a Boeing.

While I've played around with the Cessna simulation, I am kind of stuck on the 182 that I learned to fly in.
