Having initially been given the option to land on runway 31, which was 8,999ft (2,743m) in length, the crew advised that, as they were unable to turn the aircraft in the distance remaining towards that runway orientation, they were instead committed to land on runway 22, which was just 6,600ft (2,012m) long.

It could carry a crew of two and four passengers at a cruise speed of 175 knots, or about 200 mph, at a service ceiling of more than 19,000 feet. In short order we were accelerating down the runway, ascending into the cerulean sky, climbing over the city, and being treated to a breathtaking view of the expansive ocean to the west.

The aerials are at the runway’s landing end. The aerials are in a position that provides a threshold crossing height of 50ft. It consists of lights that start at the landing threshold and extend into the approach area. They are as follows: Category A: Less than 91 knots. Category B: 91 knots to less than 121 knots.

The weather briefing we had reviewed a half hour earlier promised a 20-knot headwind that would require two fuel stops on the 130-mile trip from our home airport in Kennett, Missouri (KTKX), to Little Rock Air Force Base (KLRF) in Arkansas. The landing was uneventful, and we were soon taking on fuel for the second leg of the journey.
