Arriving KEBD Southern West Virginia Regional Airpot - Grumman Tiger
Переглядів 55Місяць тому
Approach to KEBD. You can see many coal mines both in West Virginia and Kentucky. The airport has fuel and a few T hangars. There is a very neglected 140A sitting on the ramp. It would be nice to see someone put some time into bringing that one back. AIrcraft is a Grumman Tiger. Camera is a GoPro Hero 11 Black mounted under the right wing.

This is a small airport built on an old strip mined mountain ridge. It was fine but was one of the saddest places I have been. So much coal has been pulled from this area it feels spent. The approach video will show more of the mines. AIrcraft is a Grumman Tiger. The camera is a GoPro Hero 11 Black mounted under the right wing.

I16 Kee Field Pineville WV - Grumman Tiger
Переглядів 1184 місяці тому
This is Kee Field near Pineville WV. I just made a low pass to take a good look. The pavement looked good and a decent ramp. The departure, as you can see, is a bit intimidating. If something goes wrong on departure you will have to try a Hickory tree arrested landing. I would land here but I think I would need a reason as opposed to just being curious. Aircraft is a Grumman Tiger. Camera is a ...

Windy Appalachian Morning - Grumman Tiger
Переглядів 516 місяців тому
January 14, 2024. Departed VJI for a local flight. The turbulence kept things quite lively, note the wing moving in and out of frame while the brain in the camera keeps the image steady while the rest of the aircraft moves a lot. Note the ground speed Westbound v. Eastbound. Climbed to about 7500. Ground speed West was about 50 knots; east it was 180 knots. Aircraft is a Grumman Tiger. Camera i...

      Yeah. I probably wasn't as alarmed as I should have been. My oil over flow vent was obstructed and oil was spraying on the exhaust. So, some smoke but no fire. Cleared the obstruction and things were fine.

      Off airport landings can be a daunting consideration around here. As you can see there are options and more with greater altitude. It is still a stunning place to fly. Thanks for the comment.
