Ahh, Friday of 2000, what a horrible day to be attempting a landing at BDV!
I remember sitting there watching 172's and I think one very brave driver in a 152 attempting crosswind landings in 25+ knot gusting crosswinds, with vis reducing due to the dust storm.
Saw some pretty interesting landings, one poor chap actually ran off the runway.
It was one of those days where you were better off sitting in the grand old pub!!
Had a great time out there. Didn't actually get to see the BDV cup, but was overflying the racecourse doing joyflights as the race was on. Oh well, one day I will be out there with a beer in my hand watching the horsies run!!
