It's an interesting field in an interesting town, and you have to go to it in person in your plane to help determine and check what your personal minimums are and should be at any give time. Today was the day. It was reasonably cool and clear for an October morning in Florida. The flight from KSRQ to KCDK was beautiful, a short 1.1 hour cross country.
It was absolutely no issue putting N65995 down on Runway 05 in winds that were 07007KT. I did have the stall warning first go off over the water and I fully stalled a foot high over the runway for a B+ landing but the whole landing and experience was no worry whatsoever. Not so much for this guy:
He, or she, was the last pilot to recently end up in the water, and locals are amazed that the plane is still on the field. Check back because I may have a few more pictures of planes, when the pilot should have chose to go round!
On another note the short field takeoff for N65995 was just as uneventful . . . .
Update:
Here is the twin when it happened:
What I don't understand, why are there no skid marks through the end of the runway and the grass. Insurance claim?
