Well, we are at TMCC, but there is a nice looking light poll next to the runway thats a little shorter now! Crashed! Now who in the heck would put something like that next to the runway! hehe

Could be worse. In my CalClassics retro New Orleans (KMSY) there's a telephone pole right in the middle of the touchdown zone on the runway... :isadizzy:

Beautiful approach and neat landing, and then the Pole, but, I think I will give it one more shot.
