Lookin' for unique airstrips.....

After about an hour and a half flying around in the mountains......

I spotted something...

No runway...only float planes (Larry) get in here Wink

(CAY4) Hartley Bay.

Thanks 4 looking

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

I was about to type "but where is here?" but I scrolled on down and saw CAY4 Hartley Bay. Grin

Great shots Chuck.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Thanks Larry...I just wanted to be sure you knew that it was a seaplane strip Wink

The wet dog pic was hilarious......but, in all due fairness, I thought I would give you a heads up on this one Wink

I'm surprised no one mentioned that I could have paid attention to the listing as SPB. Embarrassed

If you can't laugh at yourself.....hence the wet dog pic. Grin
