This is my entry for the challenge that Chris Palmer from Angle of Attack put out on his Aviator90 Episode 37 ( www.flyaoamedia.com/blog/ ). The challenge was to land a Cessna 206, or something similar, at the Jasper Ridge Airfield (36OR) in the Pacific Northwest scenery by orbx ( www.fullterrain.com ). It's definitely a hard strip to get into!
I floated over the runway too long and just barely nailed it on my first try, stopping the plane just short of the end of the runway. Definitely too close for comfort! I tried it a second and a third time but overshot the runway on both occasions. Again I was floating too much, because I didn't want to run the gear into the slope in front of the runway. Certainly an airstrip that is better suited for smaller aircraft like the Cub or at least for a better headwind.
