we havent seen anyone try to land the AN225 at lukla yet have we, Eno posted some pics of it, the new payware scenery, and i think that it was either ozzy or fly2e that said they were going to try the AN225 there.

i really want to see that effort.

anyone else?

What's an AN225? Where is Lukla?

I could do it. I'd just set the sim rate to Slowest and take it in. Any landing from which you walk away is a good one. Any landing after which you can reuse the airplane is stellar. I read that somewhere in these pages...

an AN225, is the largest aircraft on the planet, and Lukla is a tiny airport in the himalyas

there was a joke about someone trying to land the 225 there, when eno posted some screens of the new scenery he had just got installed

i wanted to know if there had been any attempts yet

Okay the 225 is longer than the piggin' runway but you chaps may want to take a look at the 2 "Not my usual mount" threads in the Payware Screenshot forum ;)
A blindin' bit of Dak flyin' if I do say so myself ;D

its very very do-able to land the 225 there, and even take off aswell.

i've actually done it a couple of times.

Nemo we're talking about a tiny Nepalese hill special. The An-225 WON'T fit! Trust me! I think you're mixing up your airfields ;)
