Bush flying / Mountain landing strips???

Postby TSC. » Tue Nov 30, 2004 5:06 am

Hi all,

I fancied trying to find some really cool mountain landing strips - the sort that 'bush flyers' would use to get too (otherwise) in-accessable areas.

Does anybody have any particular favourites that they like to try to land (or in my case - crash) at  ::)

I'm sure there must be some that are 'hard as nails' to land at, & any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

(I have already posted this question in the FS02 forum, so apologise if you have already looked at this question)  :)

There is a strip to the East  of Mt Ranier that is a doozy.
Do not rember the name of it. but it is buy a lake and beleive me it is not easy landing or taking off from here.
But with a 172 it can be done. 8)

Try Corchevau (spelled wrong) in France.  Forget the real spelling.  Some think it may be a glitch rather then a real airport.

I'm going to have to try some of the airports listed.  I love challenging runways.

You are in luck. Over on the BFU forum someone just announced a package of just that kind of airstrips.

Thanks a lot MattNW - I will have a look at that one!!

& thankyou to everyone else who replied: Ivan, sam.eddm, garymbuska & Chris_F - I haven't had the chance too fly your suggestions yet, but i'm sure i will have a lot of fun crashing into them  ::)

I got shown a really hard landing strip at 3CL2 if any of you want too try it - it's at the bottom of a HUGE 'hole' & I think it's very nearly impossible, have fun & thanks!!!!!!

PACV in alaska is kind of in a ditch. not to hard to land, but it will make you think it is when you look at it.
