April 11, 201016 yr You know what, I think it might be OR73, and it's in Orbx PNW, where it's a flat surface. Check out the aerial photo on the AirNav page. Looks like it might be it.http://www.airnav.com/airport/OR73

April 11, 201016 yr Moderator I don't recall the exact location (it's been 10+ years since I saw that picture first), but as I fuzzily recall, it is a missionary strip somewhere in South America.The a/c land uphill, and native porters use ropes to pull the a/c the rest of the way to the top...

April 11, 201016 yr The a/c land uphillReally? You would have to pitch the nose at 70 degrees to stop flying headon into the runway :(
April 11, 201016 yr Really?

April 12, 201016 yr Really? You would have to pitch the nose at 70 degrees to stop flying headon into the runway :(Either that or try to stop the aircraft while landing downhill; stepping on the brakes in a short non-prepared runway... :( Ed OcampoStaff ReviewerAVSIM Online[email protected]Fly DC Jets
April 12, 201016 yr If I recall correctly, I believe that it is/was flown to by the MAF (Missionary Aviation Fellowship) and I think it is in Africa.
April 13, 201016 yr Moderator If I recall correctly, I believe that it is/was flown to by the MAF (Missionary Aviation Fellowship) and I think it is in Africa.Now that you mention it, I'm inclined towards Africa myself. I dimly remember reading about this jungle strip while researching information for Lionheart's Kodiak, which is -of course- primarily designed for missionary work... Fr.
