Shady Acres Aircraft Crossing

by
This clip shows an actual aircraft crossing at Shady Acres, Washington. The motorists are unaware of when a plane is coming due to obscuring trees on either side, and the plane flies low enough it would be hit by a large vehicle. Accident waiting to happen in my opinion! This runway is only 1600 feet long! We just drove to pick up this Fly Washington Passport Stamp, perhaps I’ll fly in there some day!

Landing Rwy 26, Astoria, Oregon (AST)

Here we fly a low approach to land on Runway 26 at Astoria International, Warrenton, Oregon. I flew in a crab until near the threshold with a small right crosswind. We are coming in over Youngs RIver Bay on the ILS approach (clearly we’re not flying the ILS). If you don’t want to fly in these conditions on the coast, you’re not going to be flying much!
