October 28, 20223 yr 2NCO Mountain Air is a private airstrip surrounded by the Blue Ridge mountains in North Carolina, USA. It has an asphalt runway 2900 x 50 ft. / 884 x 15 m at an elevation of 4432 feet (1351m) MSL. A few screenshots from yesterday's flight. I hope they are of interest 🙂.

October 28, 20223 yr Interesting place to visit and the airport scenery is very well modelled. Must be a challenge to land on and remind me of a simular spot called Lukla in the Himalayas. At least here you can perform a go-around by a missed approach, in Lukla you face a mountain-wall at the end of the runway...
October 28, 20223 yr Excellent scenery in a very nice surrounding, Paul. And you even got a golf course right next to the airstrip. What more can you ask for 😀😀 Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds My specs: AMD Radeon RX6700XT, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB RAM, 34" monitor, screen resolution: 2560x1080

It's actually quite easy for take-off and landing as it has a good size runway. Lukla is a bigger challenge for a number of reasons including the one you mention!.

I found a beautiful house there for $4.5 million 😮.

One odd thing about the scenery is the way statics (people, cars. birds and more) come and go depending upon the time of day. Apparently, it's a 'feature' of 'Pilots' scenery.
October 28, 20223 yr Dang, what a nice area this is. Â A golf course right next to the runway too. Â I wonder if any planes have ever been hit? Wonderful shots Paul, I'm gonna have to visit this airport. Jack Sawyer
