Trees
Be careful of trees around the runway. I went into 63B, in Maine, and it says it's 2900 ft long, paved, trees both ends. What I didn't see in the description was TALL trees both sides, and close to the runway. With wind out of the SW, wind swirled around the trees. There was a clearing, and the wind funneled through there. I was abt 10 AGL when I got to the clearing. Closest I ever came to buying it.
Once coming into 4N0, lots of wind, and at the treeline there was significant wind shear.
Tall trees around a runway, with lots of wind, can cause you real problems.
