Lesotho S. Africa........airport landing strip in the middle of it. This landlocked, mountainous country, surrounded by South Africa, doesn’t have a lot of flat land for an airport. So pilots who shuttle in food, medical supplies and the Lesotho Flying Doctor Service rely on makeshift runways like this 1,300-foot airstrip. Bush pilot Tom Claytor says landing isn’t nearly as nerve-wracking as taking off, which sometimes requires speeding off the end of the cliff before getting airborne. You “drop down the 2,000-foot cliff face until you start flying,” Claytor says.
I love this one, CD...it really speaks to me. :smt023 Wow. I wouldn't want to be on any of the planes landing or taking off from there.
Sitting at a standstill on the lake. Started moving. Across the lake I'm the marsh. Recovering damage from the salt water of hurricane Katrina.
