YouTube Description:

Now this is acceleration for you, On Board DH6-300 of Winair, flight to St Maarten, I've inlcuded the taxi so you can see just how short the runway is. video of Landing here http://youtu.be/tFKHvK46KwI

(via LiveLeak)

The runway is only 396 metres long, and I thought the runwat at St Maarten, the destination, was bad enough!

That's like, only 60m (200ft) longer than the new Gerald R Ford carrier flight deck...

RUNWAY?? WE DONT NEED NO STINKING RUNWAY

That's a point... add a catapult and a net and you could have much shorter runways.

That takes a lot of faith in your equipment and physics!

Well, although I don't want to be too much of a party pooper, taking off is the easy part. Landing, on the other hand, takes some serious skills for something that short.
