used to know where there was a really hairy video of a winter landing
I used to love flying into Telluride (TEX) on warm summer days just after it had rained. We could go straight in with the Citations, when most of the Lear’s had to wait for the runway to dry off. They don’t have the gear/brakes/tires to stop on that length of runway when it’s wet, given their warm/high altitude approach speeds.

Giggled my a-s off more than a few times listening to them talk about who wanted to go first.

I guess the thought of running off the end of that one would seem a bit intimidating.
