Chuck,
If what you say is true, and I am not disputing it for a minute, why do they run checks/parcels in them in Nth Qld?
I recall watching a check/parcel running Deathstar take of from Cloncurry a couple of years ago. It used 90% of the runway (quite deliberately) before rotating in what seemed like the last few 100 metres from the end . I thought it was going to go straight through the fence and drive overland at high speed to its destination.
I made a comment to the parcel guy on the ground who said, "Yeh, he does that all the time"!
