[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1050673, member: 498"] I have flown into Ketchikan Alaska a bunch of times. The town is long and narrow set between the water and a steep mountain. The airport is on another island and you come in parallel to town. One time I was coming in on a clear day. I was looking at town and I was thinking we sure are high for this part of town. Well we dropped pretty quick and hit hard. All of the engines in reverse and it sounded like they were standing on the brakes. When we finally stopped we just sat there for a long time. When they finally turned the plane around to go back to the terminal I was faced to the end of the runway. The end was right there, just feet away. The front wheels on the jet couldn't have been 10 feet from the edge. So close that I am sure that from the view out of the cockpit the pilots thought they were out of runway. About 60 feet down a steep slope over some big nasty rocks is the ocean. I am pretty sure that the long pause after we stopped was the pilots cleaning out their underwear. [/QUOTE]
