leesaranda: Are you sure you are describing Masafi? The runway as it exists today is not exactly short, nearly 1000m, and there is no cliff at the end. I think you could still fly out from there, with a bit a smart rudder work to avoid the scrub! It is just north of Masafi town at 25 21N, 56 10 50E.
Could you possibly be thinking of Saiq, where there IS a cliff and it's rather short?
