So is that a rerun? :D
That must have been a extraordinarily long runway. He sure left a lot of it in his rear view mirror. :lol:

I'm curious John, were these emergency landings, or were the pilots just confused thinking they were landing at Lone Pine Airport?

We had to tear down the course for about 1/2 hour at Pt Magoo one year so the Presidents plane could land.

The times that I can remember were that the pilots saw the event and wanted to watch.
I know one time for sure, because it was my Dad and Brother who came up to watch........
They first buzzed the site......We cleared the carb test run, and they landed on that portion of the strip.
Gayle could remember, I think she was event chair..................or maybe I was, or maybe Graig was.
I don`t remember, we used to do some crazy stuff back then.
