Only curiosity...how long is the runway? It looks like between 500 and 600 meters, am I wrong? :?:

What a nice looking field! Looks like a golfcourse with that lovely grass. Hmmm. makes me "lus" to go and land on some of those par 5's that I sometimes over-fly! (We all know that these are the BEST runways..) :wink:

Will buzz you sometime.
