Nomad Follies..
Just had to recount a Nomad experience of mine...
returning to Moresby in one of the Douglas Nomads I decided to see how short a landing could be... no traffic behind... no loading.. touched down on start of the threshold markers for 32L and had stopped by the END of the threshold markers. The amazingly short landing distance scared the bejeesus outa me. As I had stopped well short of the first taxyway exit I apologised to the tower controller for the extra time on the runway.. and he said "Cripes mate, that is not a problem, we all thought you'd landed gear up!!"
Wouldn't go near one again with a ten foot pole but had 800 hours of fun with 'em back in the day....
