would anyone out there like to share their favourite challenging runways - below are a few that have challenged me over the years:

Tarmac runway
a nice set close to each other Z09D, Z09G, Z09I, Z09J (the 0 is a zero by the way)
SESM,
VQPR,

Non tarmac runways
BIIS,
VNBJ,
VNJS,
VNLK,
VNRC,
VNRT,
VNTR.

The one I would dearly love to know, is one in Switzerland its at high altitude on a mountain side and you have to land up hill - I saw it in a UK flight program about 8 years ago the pilot was talking through his landing procedures as he was doing it - fantastic - unfortunately I didn't make a note of the runway – I hope someone recognises it from my brief description?

The young are always eager to give to those that are older, the benefit of their inexperience.&&

The Mountain Ridge scenery addon is quite challenging.

Thanks CraigL for your knowledge of the runway I was on about - I make no wonder I couldn't find it.

=Andrew= is the mountain ridge addon found on this site and is it for gliders?

Thanks ozzy72 for the web link - just what I was looking for - cheers
