But like, the facilities, man. That one I stopped in Oklahoma last week. Had to go to the bathroom, and the FBO, which is what we would call the gas station, you know, you walk in the office, and, well, this place, I mean, I'm serious, all there was was a desk in there with a map laying on top of it, and a restroom in the back. That's it.

And there was no air conditioning, and I'm telling you, it was hot. What do you need for a runway to land this or take off? Can you put it down on grass? Yes, yes. I have a grass strip six miles from my house and it is a 2400 foot runway. And that's probably about the minimum I would want to do for a grass runway. Grass runways, there's a lot of resistance, you know, on your wheels and stuff.

More so than concrete. So you're on turf, you're on dirt, grass. Well... It's more resistance. You need more length to get off the ground. Yes. To answer your question, grass runways are... I like grass runways. They're fun. Are they pretty rough? Some of them are. Some of them are. You got to watch out for holes, you know. Go for holes. Yep. Yep.

Have you ever had a close call in-air emergency or anything? Um, well, I mean, I don't know if I would call it an emergency. I didn't think it was. We went out to Nebraska to look at a truck one day and come back, and so this airplane, you've got to manually switch the right and left tank right down here on the floor. See that, Corey? Oh, yeah, yeah.

Okay, so I'll watch the gauges here, and every 30 minutes, you know, I'll switch it back and forth. Okay. I was with a couple guys. We were on our way back, and, you know, we were up 5,500 feet coming back across there and just chatting away, you know, talking. I'd forgotten to change the tanks. And a guy riding right seat with me was a pilot. He'd been a pilot longer than I had.

This thing sputtered and died. Oh. It ran out of gas on the one side. Not a big deal. Yeah. I mean, I knew exactly what was happening. Not a big deal. No, no, no. Hear me out. It's not a big deal. We're trained for that. I mean, we're trained to adapt to situations like that. In fact, our instructor will purposely shut the gas off on us just to see how we react. Yeah. This guy freaked out.

He'd been flying longer than I had. I just, just relax, man. I just told him relax. All you got to do is you flip the tank quick and the propeller's up there still spinning because it's got air on it, you know? The colors up there are still spinning, so all you can do is throw the gas back at it and throttle forward, and it fired right back up, and away we went. It was no big deal.
