• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

This afternoon with my schedule finally free I went for a bike ride and headed for Merrill Field. From the parking area at the university aviation building I could see the east end of the runway.

The most interesting case was a 206 with tundra tires doing touch and go's. With the wind blowing gently down the runway the conditions were perfect. As soon as the tires hit pavement it would slow to a full stop quickly. After the full stop it maxed power and took off. I don't think it passed the first taxi way entry on any of the runs.

Sorry, I did not have a decent camera with me, so I have no images or video. It was a great way to fill a little time on a beautiful day.
 
I'm envious.

I spent two weeks up in Anchorage a while back and was fortunate enough to spend an entire day between there, Lake Hood SPB and the museum.
