WTFO

There are a bunch in Northwest Kalifornia that are tuffer than those top ten. I think H47 Hyampom, 0O9 Gasquet, S51 Klamoth Glen and several others come to mind. Just a guess but I think that 90% of AOPA pilots would crap in thier skivies if they had to touch down at one of these.

^^^^ I think that's from the MAF website. One of their training strips? :)

Anybody noticed that we got a mention in that article? 8)

I've been to all of those CO airports mentioned. I would say that the one at Glenwood would rank higher on the difficulty list than Telluride.
