runway here is only 25-30' wide, random people/jumpers/vehicles/turkey/clowns/bicycles crossing the runway at any given time... develop some 'interesting' techniques. |

Ours isn't quite as excitng; most I get on the runway is the occasional student jumper, deer, the odd airplane without a radio that sits about 400' from one end warming up his engine. Although I did almost smoke a turkey that was on takeoff (run?) while landing. Luckily we have a grill on site so that wouldn't have been all bad ;)
