Its not the landing distance that is the problem. I could fairly easily 
land my V with 2000 ft of runway at at elevation below 2,000.

Taking off is an entirely different matter.

    I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she's too young to have logged on yet. Here's what I worry about. I worry that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say 'Daddy, where were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?'
