1st landing at Catalina

The video quality isn't great....turns out if you leave the camera zoomed in- all you get is a nice shot of bug guts on the window. Nevertheless, the final approach shows the real challenge of landing at Catalina; cliffs in front and back, with a hump in the middle. 1st timers have a tendancy to come in high, trying to avoid the cliff in front, only to feel like you're running out of runway because of the slope. I drug it in and made a good landing...but the camera guy was a little nervous about that cliff in front.
