Flight of Passage is one of my favorite books, glad to see some young guys doing it again:

Good article. Although it does have a few comments typical of those seen in non-aviator written stuff-- for example:"the plane is too small to land at big-city airfields.."

The runways are too long.

Used to practice takeoffs and landings in a Supercub at what was once Williams Air Force Base. I could get in three or four T&G's in one pass.

We'd also roll the plane down the runway on one wheel then the other, back and forth all the way down the runway...what a hoot.

The runways over 10,000' long.

Big airports are a small planes playground.
