I have fond memories of the old USH airport. The AR 737 would have minimum fuel to make it to Gio Gallagos and require a tug to push it to the end of the runway. Then engines start and off we went (don't want to waste fuel in taxi).

Landings were more fun. Sharp turn on final (made the old HKG seem like a picnic) then hit the deck and hope to stop before the end. I have a photo of an AR 737 which broke its back (aft of the wings) with a heavy landing. Would have been fun to have a jump seat view.
