Let's get happy at Happy Camp!

I decided to fly to a random place from KEKA, Murray.  So I chose a little airport called Happy Camp, 36S.

 

Well, I have to say this is almost as tough to get into as any airport in New Guinea.  I had to go around several times before I finally landed, but it was worth it.

Ah yes, that brings back memories. I used S51 McBeth on the Klamath River as my home field in FSX, and I flew to Happy Camp all the time, both pretty hairy. I didn't have Orbx though.

Thanks Pat. It's quite the white knuckle landing with all those hills so close.

Lovely shots, Jack! I still don’t own this scenery, but your shots (and the tricky landing you mentioned - which is something I love) make me want to buy it. :) Regards and all the best for you! 

Thanks Dario!  Well worth it my friend, well worth it indeed!
