Ofu in the Samoas with the Duke

Recommended Posts

Tim and Ken's Samoas is a very nice mix of a large airport (actually two with NSFA) and smaller rather challenging strips. Not really bush but challenging if you fly an aircraft like the RealAir Duke.  The crème de la crème is Ofu as it is very short. A case in point. The aircraft is heavily loaded to make things a little more challenging so I used almost the whole runway to stop this time (came a little high too).


 


Let's rock n roll

Great set Dominique, love the colour in them, and you are a very brave man, putting the Duke down there

Hey Don, you know the story about not being an old and a bold pilot :lol:  ! Actually, a stabilized approach at a low speed does the trick and once on ground reverser help ! Now, I was lucky enough not to have a crosswind. Pbearsailor's post on another thread gave some ideas though...
