I just can’t believe the beach is even allowed to be open. Forget needing a guided missile to take down a plane at JFK. There you could do it with a rock and a well timed throw.

So is there a height limit on that beach?

“You can only be 6’6” tall to use this beach."

the power down quite a bit, when landing … full flaps have a lot of lift, they need next to no power on the glide in…

Of course if they are lined up a little short and have to power up… lol you can probably kiss your lawn chair good bye

That is throughly amazing. The 3rd landing nearly dusted off that tracker.

I’m amazed people aren’t deaf

I’m amazed there is sand left on the beach - no jet wash (Goose)?
