Picture of the Day: It’s an uphill journey
Nathan Mackey submitted this photo and note: “An H-295 Helio Super Courier from JAARS Inc. in Waxhaw, N.C., taxis up to the top of Strawberry Ridge airstrip in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The airstrip, which is just 1,150 feet long, has a significant slope on the last half of Runway 8. The pilot must basically employ full power to get to the top of the airstrip, turn around, and take off downhill. This strip and others like it are used as a ‘final exam’ for JAARS pilots who are completing their training and then will await their overseas assignments.”
