I was working on one of the homes on the back shore just south of the western end of the CC airstrip. We would just stop and check if there were any planes due and never failed to get permission to ride our bikes down the runway to work.
Coming back however, there was no way to check, the little terminal was at the east end. To make matters worse, the planes would of course come eastward, into the prevailing wind to land, you could not hear them until it was too late. Got buzzed on more than one occasion before that job was over, dirty looks from some of the more surly pilots on the way past the terminal.
Still gotta love the informality and general cooperation of people in little unsophisticated countries! The Dept. of Homeland Security, the TSA, blah blah would have you in court in the good old land of the free?!!!
