Pilot's short field landings piece
Three postings - haven't counted how many are from the same poster - criticise the short landings article. Just for the record, I edited it, and have operated a Pitts Special, J-3 Cub, Stampe and Tipsy Nipper from a 300-yard hillside strip for the last 18 years in all weathers, so perhaps I do know something about the subject. It was written primarily by James Allan. I showed it to several very experienced pilots for their comments, criticisms and corrections. This was a group effort from aviators with thousands of hours real hands-on experience, and a fine article, not 'rubbish'.
