So you're saying you'll being doing this shirtless?

So a hot, humid day, combined with a heavy plane resulted in you settling? That sucks I've experienced that before and it is the most uncomfortable feeling in the world, sorry it turned out sour for you this time. Just a quick question you didn't have in the original story was this clinic at a fairly high altitude (MSL) and when you say you cleaned up you mean your brought the gear and flaps up or just the flaps? The original aircraft in the pictures didn't look like it had retractable gear but then again it was a wreck, sorry if that's to personal I fly a lot and I like to talk to people who've walked away from crashes, for lessons learned and the like.

I assume you were in some sort of banked turn as you went overhead? Depending on how hot it was that day 3600' can be a pretty high density altitude, bad luck that it just happened to be the day it was a few degrees to hot or a few pounds to heavy. At least you walked away and have that one under your belt for the future.

Holy shit that sounds awesome. I've seen pictures of airports like that but for the most part we don't get to fly to those. How do you navigate in the bush? Mostly GPS I assume because I can't imagine they have and VORs or even NDBs up there.

7000' MSL is pretty high for airports the highest I've flown from in the US was just over 4k
