Wow that river approach looks awesome, very unusual! I am gonna give that a try in FSX.
Quito approach is one of the default missions in FSX and very challenging in a 744F. |

Kai Tak in HKG would be on the list if it was still operational.

I assume this is the scareist "commerical" airports.
Should try looking up Tenzing-Hillary Airport in Lukla, Nepal about 40 miles from Mount Everest Base Camp. It is tar! but no actually level. There is a danger taking out the fence on just before the threshold. Also there is some you-tube stuff on Alberto Carnevali Airport in Merida, Venezuela, which is in between mountains. As for small stuff, I didn't know our Defence Force gravel trucks were helicopters until I saw some 30 degree angle runways in PNG that they touch and stopped on! |

Here's Fane in the central highlands. It's got about a 16° slope, is ~450 metres long and has a big drop on the bottom end. Kamulai is worse though. |

Bill did you fly in PNG during your career?

Yep, I flew a Citation 2 around there for a while - VH-TFQ.
That's the little jet at Guasopa. And back in about 1994 when the volcano at Rabaul went up. We were on an extended downwind in that photo, for the other local airport where people where being evacuated. |
