blocked airstrip
Thanks, Cusco. There is a difference between a ruddy big field and a
farm airstrip. Usually a farm strip is narrow, short, and has tall trees at one end and power lines at the other! To have locals walking their dogs is the last straw, but unfortunately it happens.
If the strip is sufficiently popular and has enough traffic that aeroplanes might reasonably be expected to land from time to time, it should be signposted by the owner/farmer to warn the public, and have a nice unobstructed windsock in the middle.
Otherwise we must give way to those who do not appreciate the requirements of air traffic.
There are worse things than landing in a ruddy big field.
