~ 166 Airports, Fields, or off road (4 Countries- hopefully more soon :)

If you put all your airports/off airports on SkyVector, you can make a cool map of the places you've been.  These are mine:

      In North American Continent (US, Mex, Canada, Hawaii)

      In AUSTRALIA  (MegaFauna 2014, etc)

      ALL  (get's a little crowded in this view)

Density Altitude part of chain of mistakes-- Narrow Escape on Take Off !!!

Resisting the powerful urge to lift the nose may have ultimately saved her / them.

The pilot actually comments on the takeoff on this page:

    Hey Jeff, I saw a version of that video once, but your version is much better.  Amazing video, Amazingly Freaky!!  Damn Thing just wouldn't climb!!  Everything in the video just screams ABORT / put 'er back down, but as a pilot we get tunnel vision on Plan A-  it's good to watch these vids
