Hi again Dragchute:
Yup, Vancouver Island is truly a unique place to live.
I hope to get to Aus. next year to do some flying with HARS, funny thing Aus. is the one continent I have yet to fly to.
Another thought on where to look when landing, try this.
Find yourself a high performance tail wheel airplane maybe a Spitfire or a Mustang. Then try wheel landing the thing by looking way down to the far end of the airport to judge your proximity to the ground. Or better yet find a Grumman Turbine powered Goose, that sucker will do the job just fine.... Why even I screwed up a landing once in the Turbo Goose.
When teaching wheel landings I have them do the curving approach to the touch down so they learn to keep the touch down point in sight at all times, makes wheel landing easy......
