Long Metun, in the picture, is about 1,190 feet long (less than half the length of Falwell) and has an average slope of about 11% (starts at about 4-6% and goes quickly up to 23%). The difference in height between the lower and upper threshold at Metun is about 131 feet. So it's about the same difference in height, but smooshed into a much shorter distance. Makes for an exciting takeoff and landing. :)Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11737487647086955427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2427136303718160680.post-32028919432553333172010-08-19T17:30:22.138+03:002010-08-19T17:30:22.138+03:00The picture of the steep runway reminds me of Falw...The picture of the steep runway reminds me of Falwell (W24) in Virginia. (Of course Falwell is paved.) What is the difference in elevations between thresholds? Falwell is about 150 feet. Sure was fun to take off down hill. Never got a warrior in the air that fast. =)jjapolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09990776437878434623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2427136303718160680.post-7652464891073850432010-08-16T14:54:12.100+03:002010-08-16T14:54:12.100+03:00Hannah's hair is adorable!
