    I wonder if the picture in post 1 is taken at an airfield and the "road" is in fact a taxi-way or perimeter road???

    An airfield with a downgrade? Looks like the halftrack is going down a bit of grade. Hard to say, why do you think it's airfield?

    I've landed on grass/mud strips with as much as a uphill 6% uphill grade. Took off from them as well down hill. Ive done it on the snow as well. Most of the time the horizontal angle was far from "level".

    Keep in mind the Pilot can't fly. It's the aircraft that flys. The pilot merely directs the aircraft..oh damn that human factor again

    Mountain Empire Airport near Marion/Wytheville, VA.



    There's a 55 foot rise in approximately 1/2 of its 5252 ft length.
