ASA FO's Landing in EYW

[bvt1151]

Key West - 1
Stifler's Mom - 0

If anybody receives a new 10-9 page with a lower elevation listed as the change, you can thank me. :0

Absolutely brilliant!

Outstanding!

The RJ85 can do it with room to spare with minimal effort

Whatever

And the DHC-8 can make the midfield turnoff. And the DHC-7 could probably land across the runway with a tailwind. A DHC-6 on floats wouldn't need the airport at all.

Back when ASA got BAe146's (~1997) some senior captains went to the director of flight ops, the Great Brain himself, Bubba Shanahan,and suggested that we go direct ATL-EYW.

His response was that it was impossible, because we couldn't back it up with an ATR if the jet broke....

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. Try taking off & landing at Walker's Cay, Bahamas (MYAW) in a 402. 2,500 feet and not a foot longer because the ocean is on both sides with bull sharks at both ends also

Thank you Univ. of Miami for setting up a feeding station there to study sharks:laugh:

but yes, in a jet going out of key west is challenging also happy landings all

Getting eaten by sharks ain't so bad, not when you compare it to dying from some kind of slow painful death from a disease.

Besides, surviving an incident or an accident don't mean that the angel of death has given up. I know of an incident in Wisconsin where a guy clung overnight to his capsized boat until he was rescued the next morning. What a waste of time, he got plowed while riding a moped the following weekend and was killed instantly.
