I am not as concerned about the takeoff as the landing. Quick Hill is 11,000' from the end of the runway and from the top of the hill to the runway is almost 6 degrees so no posibility of an instrument approach. It looks like the only approach is over Buck Island and turning 45 deg onto a one mile final. Isn't that a litle tight for a 757?

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. - Mark Twain
