You had to pay attention going into a new place, because the Mohawk has full reverse pitch on the prop you could land at airstrips where you would have a hell of a time taking off. When you come in at about 80 knots just hanging in the engines and the props, you can stop in 600 or 700 feet easily but you cant take off in that distance.
Frog,
Great article link. Found lots of neat birds to read up on. The included history of service is great.
