And just in case you did not notice this at the bottom of the above unpaved strip kit article, here's some old footage filmed by Boeing in 1972 when they were conducting landing and takeoff tests with a 737 at the Hope Regional Airpark which is an unpaved, 4,500 foot airstrip in British Columbia normally used by light aircraft and gliders. The narration by the Boeing folks is interesting as well.
