It is for the very reasons mentioned above that so many private strip operators (including myself) are becoming increasingly nervous of the tarmac brigade venturing out of their natural habitats. Some seem to believe that because their a/c is deemed as a "strip" machine that it will do what it says on the box.
We stood and watched a Warrior try to get out of Eggesford on RW11 four-up about a month ago. 'Why's it taxiing back so fast?' We thought.
Alas, it was trying to take off! Off the end of the strip, 50 yards through the pre-silage grass, just about into the air, then up the hill in ground effect, NEXT to the big tree. They survived with inches to spare.
I was ready to run, but there would have been nothing to run for. They were nice people and I'm sure if any is reading this, they know who I mean.
Spam cans and strips mix only with the greatest of caution.
