Dude, that was Skyfest 2005 at Spaceland, before they paved the runway.

Meh.... It looks like he had at least 10 feet of runway left...

I was there. I remember the Otter climbing out in formation behind the Casa or Skyvan and seeing about a 30lb chuck of mud falling off the belly.

My favorite from that boogie is one of SDA's skyvans having to get creative with the props to keep the plane from sliding down the side of the muddy runway while taking off. If you haven't seen a Skyvan full of jumpers fish tailing in the mud during a take off roll, then something. I'm not sure what, but it was an impressive sight!

I was there and think I'm still cleaning mud from gear. That was a great boogie but with shitty weather!

If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

Yep, MudFest 2005

My reality and yours are quite different.
