Favorite and most interresting approach or airstrip

Featured Replies

As the title states im just curious in seeing what are others peoples favorite approaches or airstrip?I myself really like Bella Coola(in my 182 RG or 206 amphib hehe lol), I like the mountains and valley's, especially with the freeware mesh I downloaded.

FOr weeks I was obsessed with KaiTak runway 13http://www.the-airfield.com/screenshot_gal...SScreen_055.jpgI did the following changes and additions and made it a working airport again (also increasing Hong Kong's autogen building density)kaitak98.ziphkautogen2.ziprecompiled world traffic for MyTraffic2006More shots at these places;http://www.the-airfield.com/screenshot_gal...iTak_MD11_Thai/http://www.the-airfield.com/screenshot_gal...ak_L1011_Court/http://www.the-airfield.com/screenshot_gal..._MD11_Aeroflot/http://www.the-airfield.com/screenshot_gal...ak_B777_Cathay/http://www.the-airfield.com/screenshot_gal...7_400_Canadian/

TFFJ, St.Barts.It's been plastered all over the screen shot forums since Fly Tampa released their St.Maarten scenery.In real life ENAT (Alta Norway) is pretty cool with it's short runway and wicked crosswinds.As well I love KMDW, it's very intimidating landing a 737 in the middle of a city.

Lukla is a great one.

I agree with the thread's authour, Bella Coola is a very nice place to fly in and out of. Stewart is also great. Try either in a heavy for a challenge. :)Both are in BC, Canada, and are covered by freeware Genesis mesh, which is required(!) to get the best out of the area.

Reggio Callabria. That one has an even bigger offset than the old Kai Tak. I guess it's not as prominent because the field is too small to accomodate 747's.

Julianna Airport (TNCM)--St Maartans--you're literally only 50 feet above a public beach on approach to RWY9. Not overly challenging but definetly in the pretty cool category. My screenshots below:319stmaartans.jpgStMaartan757-1.jpgKemoF15

Nice shots DK8290!KemoF15

There are so many but at the top of my list is the Funchal LPMA Rwy 05 Approach ...if you do not follow the charts to the letter you will never make this approach.This is a Captain only approach in real life. :-kewl

My favourite approach is Juliett8 in Santos Dumont airport (SBRJ), Rio de Janeiro. Here is a nice real shot: http://airliners.net/open.file?id=1179549&...=1179072&size=LYou approach the airport from west and when visual, you turn right to the downwind leg. Then you need to make a 180

>My favourite approach is Juliett8 in Santos Dumont airport>(SBRJ), Rio de JaneiroYes definitely another one of my favourites! .... in fact I feel a new video coming up! :-hahYou only need this line for the photo link btw ;) http://airliners.net/open.file/1179549/L/
