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.

TNCC to MPMG:running:

Fuel 10077
P/L 20600
 
Landed at MPMG, sure am getting tired of flying through thunder storms on approach. Oh, what the heck, that's why we get the big bucks.

Picture #1. I thought I would take a picture of my pole that I made shorter, but they fix @%$^$ thing!

Picture #2 taken just to show I missed it this time.:icon_lol:
