700ft strip on cliff side.

A fun strip!
Usable are 700ft, you might have a run off of 100ft more in between a boat and tight trees, but better not to count on that, airstrip located near Centralia , Washington.

Nice José! Without being too indiscreet, may I ask if that is your daughter, niece or new flight instructor in the right seat? Definitely a good addition for the movie...

Blue skies,

Tom

Beautiful landing.
Beautiful copilot.
Big trees, if a pilot needed to go around better start early...

Thanks , no go around on this one, once you are on short final you are landing, I only go to this one in calm winds or very light wind conditions, the cliff and trees just before landing most likely causes downdrafts and turbulence, and since the only way to land here is very slow, it will make you vulnerable when windy.
