Ben_Chiu Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 7. "RE: Interesting runway" 08-20-03, 21:51z  Greetings Andy: > Didn,t you know Ben.. that,s Ayers Rock (Ularoo) in NT Aus. > One of our better strips. Thanks for naming the strip. The picture was posted on the SBA TRACON site http://www1.faa.gov/ats/atct/sba/fy.htm and we were wondering if it was a fake or not. > Never mind take of... landing WOULD be fun We had a well-known mountain flying expert, Sparky Imeson out a few months ago. The stories he tells (he brought slides of some of these places) about landing on strips like these are amazing. Imagine landing at an attitude and power setting that's usually reserved for climbing, then jamming on the brakes as soon as the wheel touch down so you don't roll downhill backwards!!
