Spray Pilot vs Charter Pilot?

As in ''most difficult" probably the first time I landed my Cherokee Arrow on my own strip. The strip is up a reasonably steep slope, with the threshold just around a bluff, which makes it impossible to see until you turn the corner, by which time you had better be at less than 100 feet or you are too high. The approach is flown as a ''U'', with all take offs down hill and all landings uphill, regardless of wind.

Overheading the top end of the strip at about 600 feet, you descend into a valley in the landing configuration and get down to about 150 feet over an inlet at the far end of the valley. You follow the inlet, between two hills, around the bluff, turning towards the runway heading, which you still can't see, slide over the powerlines at the bottom of the strip and do a fairly vigouous flare to plant the aircraft on the ground. Steer round the mild dog-leg about half-way up the hill and pull up at the front door of my holiday home!

Coming out, you get airborne, turn hard right round the bluff then hard left up another valley to climb out over the sea. Quite exciting really! Easy once you have done it a few times, but working it out for the first time was a little buttock clenching!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
