Flying Hint #1: Displaced Threshold
Taking off on runway 21 at the Flagstaff Pulliam Airport I couldn't help but admire the lovely paving job on the 1800' runway extension which includes its own taxiway access. Less impressed was I by the pilots skipping this fine pavement (no back taxiing necessary) for their takeoff roll. For myself I could see finding that extra 1800' quite sweet in the face of an aborted takeoff. I myself enjoy being in airplanes, a minute's more taxi time is not a problem.
