I forget the name, but it looks like the one that's at the base of Mount Everest. Is that Lukla? (I think it is)

Nope, that's what I got when I tried it out, but I downloaded an FS2002 scenery from AVSIM which seems to work fine.

This is Lukla Airport also a very hard airport to try and land at in fs9 as you have a huge cliff face at the other end of the runway! ! ! ! ! !
We flew to this destination on one of our multiplayer flights in Cessna 337's, and is a real pain to land at.....

So thats what that little grass strip is supposed to look like!
I just about managed to get a fully loaded 747 off there. You've just got to nose down and eventually you get enough speed.

If it makes you feel any better, they only did it to you.
