go fly a C208b or a DHC6 into some short strips in wild weather...
I've flown the king Air into snow covered scandinavian runways and piss wet through 750m, 25m wide VFR runways too, thanks.
And IMHO, the fact that the MPL'ers will have never experienced the joys of the same or anything remotely similar is, I think, an absolute tragedy.....
But saying that makes my sound like an old you know what, and anyhow I digress.....
