This is a great video I recently found showing the take off, pattern and landing at the Lake Wohlford airfield near Escondido, Ca. where I used to keep my airplanes (1940 Taylorcraft BC-65 and 1947 Bellanca Cruisaire) when I lived in So Cal. during the 80’s. My later 1959 Bellanca 260 was a little too big for this 1100 ft. mountain top runway (no it’s NOT 1500 ft.) and I kept that at Montgomery Field and Palomar Airport until I moved it in the early 90’s to Dear Valley Airport in Phoenix. Every once and a while you’d find a new airplane forlornly sitting on it’s back a few hundred yards down the slope off the end of the runway. A testament to still another daring pilot getting "cold feet" and aborting a fine (but scary) take-off, too late. Landing there used to get you a fancy "carrier landing" certificate in the old days. 😉

No, I was flying a 1940 Taylorcraft, a 36ft span 65Hp airplane that has an empty weight of 800lbs! But I also flew my 1959 260Hp Bellanca 260 Cruisemaster and my 1947 Bellanca Cruiseaire with a 190HP engine conversion! I now have ANOTHER 1940 T-cart AND a 1951 Bellanca Cruisemaster, the last true Bellanca made in Delaware and was a rare prototype fitted with a upgraded hi-compression 225Hp O-435 engine. The ’51 is in Glendale AZ. Pictures are in my facebook albums. (I sold my ’59 to a fellow who works for a company that does WW2 Warplane restorations) I saw many planes that dropped off the edge and crashed after the pilot ‘chicken out” and tried to abort when all he had to do was ….fly!
