Had a CEO once that wanted to fly into a remote location where we were building a chemical plant and the nearest big airport was an hour's drive. The airstrip nearby was built for crop dusters. Our company pilot was a former navy fighter pilot and when I gave him the length he said, "That'll be twice as much as I'll need." I was told later that the CEO was scared to death by the landing and the takeoff.

I hear they’re building a new Starbucks on the south side of the island. They were going to build it on the north side but Shake Shack and TJ Maxx beat them to it.

Just like my uncle Chet, Sky King. Dirt roads, farm fields, you name it. Behind his on the farm, he had two airplane hangers. One for the farm plane, a Beech Bonanza. The other was a loaded out twin engine Mooney for long distance travels. Got his license at the post office in the early 1930’s. The Bonanza had roll down windows for coyote hunting. Way ahead of his time.

Ok, I have a story. My dad flew Grumman TBMs in WW2 and also in Korean war along with Corsairs . He was given a mission to fly 2 Army covert intelligence persons into North Korea, land on the beach and pickup the 2 intel persons they were replacing. This was in the TBM. He told me this when he was in his late 80s, passed away at 98. My brother was a A4 crew chief in the 60s and informed a Marine Captain his plane needed some work, when the Captain found out who his father was he said , “ If George ---- son says I can’t take off then I won’t, as far as I’m concerned your father could walk on water” . My dad became an airlines pilot later on, when the story about Tully landing his plane on the Hudson River came out I asked my dad if that is something he could have done. Without hesitation he said, “Yeah, sure” . I believed him without doubt. 😊

Cool video. Impressive skill for sure. Just curious why besides you can would you decide to do that? Seems very risky with alot that could go wrong. Is that something you do regularly to keep your skills up just incase you need to land somewhere like that?

If the pilot didn't go there ahead of time in a canoe and measure that island, that was even crazier than it looked. Stunned, and glad it worked out.
