How about the short runway on Saba island. Saba island is just next to St Martins. Next time I go to Saba, I'm talking the 45 minute boat ride from St Martins. :lol:

Saba is cool, but a Twin Otter can land on a stamp, so no biggie .

 

I grew up flying Twin Otters. Once the wind was so bad that it just took off straight from the parking spot. Many times the wind was so mean that they couldn't even taxi. Instead passengers had to go by car out to the runway where the Twotter stood facing the wind.

 

Here's an everyday shot from their Arctic Norwegian operations:

The pilot said it all:" Damned that's short!"

Yeah, that's what she said. ;-)

Wow, one of my all time favourite places to fly in FS. Well at least we can keep flying there in the sim.
