No grass! All dirt! Single pilot rated. Runways as short as 2,810 ft. Pretty sweet.

Have to ask, do you fly or tied to the Aviation Industry?

Have to ask, do you fly or tied to the Aviation Industry?

In a previous life, not this one.

Yeah it’s kind of hard when you have to continue to cover up murders and other crimes of the operator of the airport decades after you promised them the presidency. There must be an easier way... How many k’s can it load?

You’re referring to the Cocaine Importation Agency, right?

Yes, the Colombian Cartel Cocaine Importation Agency

[midnight rambler]

Yeah, I want one.

About 10 or 12 years ago the Air Force bought 10,000 tons of reject sand from the crusher to maintain the surface of a secret dirt strip they had built. My brother, I and the gravel company truck hauled the sand to the stockpile which was on the opposite side of the landing strip from the access road. Normally when there were operations out there we weren’t allowed access at the main gate.

One day my brother was busy on another job, the company driver had all the hours he wanted to work that week so I loaded a load of sand and went out alone. I had just dumped the load and was about to leave when a C130J landed. I couldn’t cross the airstrip with him sitting there. A bunch of Norwegian soldiers appeared from nowhere out of the Juniper trees and boarded the aircraft. When it took off it created a dust storm like I had never seen.

The plane in the video is landing and taking off on a dry lake bed, but the amount of dust is similar to what I witnessed
