Coolest airports (Read 576 times)

Considering the thousand of airports available in fs 2002, I would find great to have a list of "cool airports" (great scenery, challenging approach, etc...).
For instance, I find 5bk (Alaska) really fun and challenging to approach (heading 32). if anyone could share his findings, that could be nice. Cheesy

I fly at TNCM which is in the carribien. The approach is nice. If u go to Airliners.net and check out the All time best photos, this airport is in there alot for its great approach. Also, try SESM. SESM is in a crater I think in South America and its very hard to get out, unless u have a military jet or heli. Other then that, u have to fly around the crater and gain altitude. Really fun to fly at.

Someone published a list of really tough approaches and take-offs recently.
The toughest I've done is in Albania, and is called Korce Northwest Airfield. This is tough both in and out.

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Fortunately, I kept a copy of the list (somewhere on here a couple of months ago). I provide it without warranty except VNLK which I can assure you it is completely mental. SESM (is that the crater? is a hoot)

Try 'Luang Namtha' in LAOS.

Its basically surrounded by hills- steep hills. For the same reason, Lao Aviation (the Airline of Laos) has had a number of tragic crashes in the area- the problem with depending on visual navigation

Wow! I just flew out of, and back into SESM in Ecuador, in a small twin seater jet - the scenery is incredible. Also there's a similar (but larger) hole in the earth close by with a lake at the bottom. And all this at 9000 feet!

I'm off to find more, courtesy of the list above! And dangerous-airports.com.
