I posted about the airports in Daraga/Legazpi City and Davao City as I knew I would be traveling to Naga City and likely by air. That likelihood became certainty as horror stories of 14-16 hour travel by bus became unacceptable for short trips where the travel times by road exceeded our actual stay in the city.
I have not flew on a turboprop plane in about a decade. I think the last time was after Yolanda when we were involved in the planning and design of the new UP campus in Tacloban. Approaching the airport, our plane had to maneuver around for the correct end of the runway for the landing. The pilot had to make some sharp turns as we approached to land. Naga Airport’s runway is relatively short so there isn’t much room for error upon touchdown. Our first view upon landing was a Mt. Isarog shrouded by clouds.
