I have flown in and out of this airport many times and it still scares the hell out of me each time. It sits in a bowl-like valley, has short runways, and infrastructure is old. I don't have any of the newer flight sims, so I wonder if it is simulated the same?

Looks like more bald spots on those old tires...

That's a challenge...

Try "Aeropuerto Rio Amazonas", Shell Mera, Ecuador, SESM in FS2004 (it's cheap now, c'mon....). A known anomaly, it's already pretty weird and nothing like the real item. It's also the site of my "Area Fifty-TWO" scenery addon, but even stock, it'll give you something to work with since my scenery doesn't alter the main bowl/runway area. Don't bother with a small plane, take a big twin or larger. Good luck. Wink

I can't be sure, but I think that was Marco landing in one of our Sunday Flights... Wink

Three National Guard C-130s were doing a cross country flight and decided to make a formation landing at the destination.

They came in and with plenty of brakes and reverse props just came to a stop at the end of the runway

After they taxied to the transient are and shut down the lead pilot said to the transient crew chief

"Your North South runway is plenty wide but a little short"

Sarge looked at the Colonel and said

"Sir we only have an east -west runway"

Sideways all depends on your planes capabilities Mr. Green
