Pete,

Thank you for the great pictures! Before I read your commentary, I thought you were bringing your cat on board. I got a cat on my tail but not in the cockpit!

Notice how steep the VASI brings you into runway 32 at SBS? Most of the planes you see on the ramp have less performance than yours, so not to worry!
Let me know ahead next time you're visiting SBS; might have some extra hangar space.

Default Hi Ron

It was a fun trip into SBS, and the -9A had no issues getting in or out. We did see a beechjet that used every inch of the runway on landing, including a cloud of dust at the far end of 32!

It is a beautiful area and a great little airport! I'll let you know next time we come out.
