Unitended Emergancy Landing Spot (BY ME)

I was flying a Air Force AC-130 in FSX and My 4th engine failed, So I contacted KTOL (Airport I departed from) and I had to turn around then around to go land on the runway that i departed at, and I also had to follow a flight pattern... I turned around, and I THOUGH I saw KTOL and decided just to land on the wrong runway (as my other engines were failing then), but when I Landed, I saw it was different (From Above it looked EXACTLY The Same) I actually landed an AC-130 at KTDZ (Metcalf) so, yeah, In the virtual world there is an AC-130 at Metcalf... It was a REALLY good VIRTUAL COCKPIT landing... ::)

I've had something similar happen to me. I was on a long straight in approach to an airport, and there happened to be another airport right underneath the approach, with the same direction runway. ::)

Well, I was so low that the really long intersecting taxi way at KTDZ looked like the other runway at KTOL, so yeah.. And KTDZ Is a very small airport for GA and has no tower, and I landed a AC-130 Air Force there...   ;D

You'd be surprised where a C-130 can fit!

I landed one at St. Barts once... Talk about a tight fit :o

Even on a carrier deck... I don't think the virtual controllers were happy about a wing-tip right near to their faces though... ::)

Those videos and stuff look SO UNREAL, I know they are real but look unreal (I say this as in I can't believe it)

Also, I should try small landing strips with big planes/ tight fits, see how i do. I did fine on this one cause I though it was KTOL until I was actually on the ground...
