Found this airport with Michael Doherty's approach package. It's a highway that turns into a 10000 foot runway complete with telephone poles.

Now if only there were cars for me to land on!

Approaching

I love the telephone poles here.

It's somewhere in the middle of the deserts in Saudi Arabia.

The airport code is Z26K.
I certainly had crash detection off for this, as not even the first engine fits within the runway! It's lots of fun. If you have Doherty's Vol 15, the approach is called al-bir highway.

Thanks for the comments.

Fozzer, if you clench your buttocks together like that, does it really save that much room? Wow! Shocked
