Wow, that's a pretty short runway for that elevation! I'm wondering what their approach speed might have been (140?), and then correct that to true airspeed at 8000', then add the 30 knot tailwind. I'm guessing their groundspeed was around 200? Trying to land on 7000'?? 
Even if they did everything right, that was going to be tight.
Have a good trip back. I hope you packed your long johns, it's going to be very cold when you get home.

Never flew it but as I recall it landed and took off on a aircraft carrier.

Anyone know if you can be awarded a spill pairing white slip that would be under the max pick up for the current bid period, but would put you over the next bid period?
For example: If my max pick up is 10:00 in JAN and 0:00 in FEB, could I be awarded a 16 hour 3 day that has 9:00 in JAN and 7:00 in FEB?
So, does it look at both bid periods, or just the current?
Thanks.

And on the Herk in Aspen? Herk don't care, Herk can land anywhere, any time, and then back into his parking spot!

Funny how Telluride doesn't seem to cause that many problems. It has a lot of the same challenges and is quite a bit higher. With a shorter runway.

Via a link from the above article:
I hope it looks similar during our next contract. I say the next section 6 is do or die for DALPA.

No, you're right. I was referring to having flown to any of those places and then being taken off the acceptable donor list here in the US.... Remember Buzz is a wordsmith. The fault was probably mine.
