Man, that does look cold! I've flown into Charleston a time or two on business - if I recall, it sits atop a hill and one hopes, as a passenger, that there's enough room to land! Good shot of some seriously grim weather.

Thanks Jer. It is indeed on a mountaintop, with a 500 foot drop straight down off the SW end of the runway. Fortunately, there is an arresting system, which was tested successfully several years ago by a commercial airliner.
