For starters,Lima, Peru in something like a DC-8, then move on to Sonoma Valley (approach from the west) ia anything light, the move on to St Barthelemy Is, (try this in a DHC-6 from the landward side) and finally, Courcheval in the Baron, or a Twin Bonanza.

Good luck

yeah, i've messed around at Lukla and Hong Kong a little bit, both are a lot of fun.

Beefhole, I also checked out Saanen (LSGK) and tried a few takeoffs in landings in a variety of different commercial aircraft. My impression is the airport can't handle anything larger than maybe a CRJ-200, Fokker 100, or ERJ 145. Also, I did a little research to see if any airlines actually fly in there and couldn't find any.

Existing private pilots, good commercial pilots, very good military pilots and the men that landing at the runaway 13 of Kai Tak.

Try also land or take off in a place called Rio Amazonas (Ecuador).

Hey T.  If we're talking about the same place, looks like I butchered the name :-[

I saw a vid on flightlevel350.com of commercial turboprops landing and taking off there, that's why I mentioned it ;)

So I checked most of these airports out and they are fun, especially while trying to takeoff and land in an A319.

Oh, two things: 1) What exactly am I downloading when I dl "Doherty Difficult Approaches?" 2) This is a little off topic but does anybody know if there are any VATSIM controllers stationed at London City?

DDDA are "flights" that you placve in your "Flights" folder.  In a sense they are sort of like "Adventures".

You load up the flight... and you will be positioned on "final" with the time, location, weather, and so on already determined.

They are a lot of fun.

best,
