...thats just what they want you to think....

Anyways, I've flown into Pinal a few times. Pretty neat sight. Got out and walked around a bit. Surprisingly, no one came out to see what my business was.

One trip in particular sticks out in my mind, as I was next in line (yes, a line at Pinal! I know...) to depart behind some MD-80 that had to be empty. That mad dog leaped off the runway and would've given an F-4 a run for its money. Pretty cool. I then did my best to replicate that performance with the might of all the 180hp that I had at my disposal....buzzed down the runway on the deck full tilt and popped it up for a little zoom climb at the end. Then cruised home at 110kts.
