There is an airfield in a volcano somewhere in S.America (I can't remember where), but I got the An-225 down on the deck in one-piece on the first attempt there!
I've also squeezed an An-12 under the Eiffel Tower for a giggle 8)

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Take off from O'hare in any aircraft, fly to meigs, touch and go on runway 36, then fly on your side through the radio masts atop the skyscraper in front of you!

Smaller aircraft can take off from Meigs, and fly through the radio masts right away.

I'll call the FAA and make sure none of you get a pilot license ;)

I like to take a Dc-10 or B747 and try to takeoff from the smallest runway possible.  The passengers love stuff like that.    ;D

2)  Take a big plane and land at a small airport.  For example, there's this little airport near here (Peprell, MA, USA)  that's a challenge for small GA type planes as the runway is short and the approach requires you to thread the needle between some hills and trees.  It's even more of a challenge in a 737.


LMAO. Actually, that's not too far off. About ten to fifteen years ago, Sanderson Field (KSHN) used to be the destination airport of Boeing jumbojets on their way to a Boeing salvage yard here. Typically, you don't think a 747 could land on a 5000' runway - but I've seen it in person on more than one occassion.

Last decade I would practice landing one of those experimental jet planes (FS4 to FS98?) on a carrier. to slow down use differential brake(appling left or right brake only and keys) and "skid" and twist much like braking from downhill skiing.

Maybe that could help with landing a 737 on a short(<=8000) ft. runway. Just thought about it, haven't tried it.

Have smashed particular landing gear when stress damage set to most 'realistic'. Sometimes interesting results. plane half buried in the ground , crashback flames craft, but not a flight ending crash etc.

this was fun., "sledding" down steep mountains with a small plane set on indestructible.

;D ;D

Once I tried using the 737 and chase other traffics near by...


and I want to try this someday, determine my house's absolute GPS coordinate, design a 3d model of my house, put my virtual 3d house into the scenery at the correct GPS coordinate, fly a cessna over my house, and shout "Mom, look! I'm up here!" -can be done in real world also, but I don't think I'm gonna fly real-

I used to fly between the world trade center towers in FS95 (before the tragedy).  I still fly underneath the bridges in NY in FS2004 (never tried them inverted).  I'll never fly the WTC again, even though I never hit them.  It's beyond stupid now, it just isn't right.

God Bless Our Troops!

I like flying my own design, the Grizzly (pictured below) over my hometown of Ottawa, Canada.
