He spoke a lot of pilot speak on how they take off and land, but said it was really no big deal. Last edited by SXMbeacher; 10/27/2019 10:15 AM.

Every pilot I know loves flying in here. Yes, a challenge, but world famous so they look forward to it. Never did I ever here scary. It was always on my bucket list to fly in here, but alas, it never happened.
