I have never disliked a airport more than Aspen.

Elevator ride on the decent and then a uphill runway.
One way in and one way out. I
have seen Cessna 206 crash within 20 feet of where I was standing.

I tried a spoiler extended no flap approach vor dme stepdown
only to be frightened to see the STALL light and HORN GO OFF
IMC ABOUT 1300 feet AGL in a snowstorm. Yes I did have to pull the seatcushion out after landing.
Needless to say I will never try that technique again.
It never got easier going in there.

I hated it everytime.


I am glad that AA does not go in to that Death Trap.

My old Chief Pilot would decend to minimums then follow the highway
to the approach end of the runway.
What a Friggen A-hole,
Yes he got fired .
