Rodger Pettichord Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Hi all. I love landing on the dog-leg dirt strip on the razor-thin ridge at Ononge, PNG. P3D has a good version that is made even better by an Orbx enhancement. Orbx's Milo Taylor has just finished a set of breathtaking Idaho fire-watch sites to be released soon for MSFS2020. Even he crashes trying to land at them. I will pile up my Firefox numerous times trying to master all eleven of them. And that leads us to this week's topic. THIS WEEK'S MEANINGLESS TOPIC: What challenging airports/airstrips have you mastered? (Feel free to brag shamelessly) 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you are in the air. 😁 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 For me that depends on the plane you fly: With an airliner there are quite some difficult places like Innsbruck, Kai Tak, Sion, Calvi, Quito, Kathmandu, even Heraklion (due to the missing vertical reference). With any plane my worst-to-land list contains Lukla, Narvik and St. Barths (TFFJ). I am sure some people even land a 747 in these places, in one way or another. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilot100 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 (edited) forgot to mention, that was in a Boeing 737, only issue was when I landed the doors all fell off, not sure where they landed...... Ohh, thats harsh isn't it? Sorry Boeing. Yes I lied it wasn't a 737 really. (you all knew that.....) Edited May 2 by pilot100 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wain71 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 (edited) I can bounce into most places unless I am in a tail dragger, once the tails hits the ground I'm toast!!!!! oh and I can never land a chopper, crash land probably describes it better...

flyingleaf Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 T-Bone says: "Y'all landed that plane. "Why is it my fault Cap'n Karl?". Ah heck T-Bone I didn't say it was your fault, I'm just blaming you. Yea, yea guys go make fun of us. I was just a "little" late with the gear down. Ain't really my fault now, is it? Or are you all so picky, picky? Hilda we need some more b..rs up here if you will, pretty please. Hey Hilda are Y'all good back there? Yea ah's is, jis wondering if you two dingbats didn't have enough already? Jeeesh, he forgets to put the gear down. Who does that nowadays". Me: "Hilda didn't fergit, ah wus just a wee bit late pulling the leaver. Have a great weekend guys and don't fergit to put the gear down before landing, it really is better that way, ah'm sure.

Bluebear Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I landed safely with a C172 at Princess Juliana Airport TNCM. But I almost missed the runway because all the bikini beauties were waving at me as I approached. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Q Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Sorry for the late reply, but had to think about this. Was it East Hampton, KHTO, the first time I tried to land the Mooney? Ground effect, I almost ran out of runway. No. How about Kern Valley, L05, flying up the narrow canyon and hanging a really tight u-ey to land. Maybe. I'd say Big Bear City, L35 probably makes it. Sinuous approaches, high mountains, and tricky weather with astronomical density altitudes make every landing without a broken airplane an achievement.
