I read somewhere that this airport was really difficult... had to give it a try. Wink (Ecuador - SESM)

As you can see, the field is surrounded by mountains, and they are about 2,500 feet high!

To make a long story short, I was partially succesful at it. However, when trying to fly one last time to (I tought) take a glamorous final shot, well, take a look at the last pic.

Again, any comments are welcome.

P.S. Damn SiS chipset... Grin Grin Grin

Ahh... finally out of this bowl... man, it sure would be nice to fly over it and take a pic.... Grin

Well, I guess that the 172 doesn´t feel too comfortable at this place... stalled and: Tongue

Yeah I got the FSD Pilatus Porter. Its the best bush plane ever I reckon! loads of power to carry out steep climbs, and it can land at really small strips due to its slow speed capabilities.  Here's a few pics!

Looks a place only too take your hilo or harrier!

Seems there are a lot of those in FS and in the world.  The Doherty's approaches packages at AVSIM have quite a few in them that I've flown.  Gives a good excuse to nose dive a 757!!

You have to wonder:  if there's a big flat plateau around, why build in the pit?

I managed to get an F16 out of there. Just rammed the throttle home and whoooosh! Out.

On the more spectacular side I did get a Lancaster out aswell. And a Tigermoth. Cheesy

bm_727:
Sorry about the frustration!
That is a REAL picture, saved from airliners.net.  My screenshots are nowhere near the caliber of that shot!  Although some of the billiant folks around here are!

I'm planning another change soon, if it makes you happier.  I'm doing what I spose you could call a 'series' of 'beautiful shots of beautiful planes' by the a.net bunch.

PS.  I think the challenge is impossible.  (Translation:  Ozzy or someone will prove that wrong and do a 50 degree nose up climb....) Wink

Yeah, after the frustration on getting the 172 out, I decided to "cheat" a bit and do it on an F-15... piece of cake.... And with the cessna, well I actually managed to get out of the bowl, but when I tried to fly over it to take a pic from the top, well the little bugger didn´t wanted to cooperate...  Grin Grin
