Found an approach that makes Kai Tak seem like a piece of cake;

thats one hell of an approach..

I like the seconds when the runway comes in the view.

More footage of the same airfield:

You really get to appreciate the ground clearance with this one!

Insane, but a great touchdown in what looks like a crosswind situation - if it wasn't dramatic enough...

Same airport.....
Talk about pucker factor!!!! This could have been a horrible.

The History Channel program "Most Extreme Airports", ranks it as the 2nd most dangerous airport in the world...Who's the 1st?

Believe it is Gibraltar Airport or North Front Airport (ICAO: LXGB)


Actually I found out it is Lukla (VNLK) in Nepal.

Gibralter is #5 on the list.

According to Wiki, LXGB is in 5th place. So far, it appears to be St. Maarten's or St. Bart (not sure right now).

Guy flew all 10 airport approaches in FSX.

There was a TV doc on in the Uk a couple of weeks ago which covered that list above, two very cool hours of TV.

I bet that one left some severe skid marks.........................and not all on the tarmac either!

So you like interesting landings. Well, I find I just can't get enough of this one! Paro, Bhutan.

Be sure and watch the last one.
