Sloped Lukla Pt. 2

[Flying Mouse]

Only one approach and no time for mistakes. That mountain looks solid.


Plenty of deep valleys with water rushing down the slopes.


Getting ready to make the final turn.


Easy with this little bird, I wonder if I could land a 747 over here

The Super Cub can land just about anywhere on anything, great shots.

great looking shots, love the supercub!  Too bad the shadow of an aircraft only shows up on flat surfaces in FS.

Nice shots there!

Well, our very own crazed strunt pilot Ozzy managed to get the An-225 down there, can't find the thread though... [don't ask how, he just did ]

[bushpilot172]

With a good headwind I imagine!  :o

The trick to getting the 225 in there is to hold it just below stall in a nose down attitude and pull up at the last second so the tyres hit as the stall happens and then go to reverse thrusters........ piece of cake if you are superhumanly talented like Andy or I

Sounds easy enough, but unfortunately the rest of us aren't crazy brave enough to try....

It doesn't work on the sloped one though, unfortunately.

[Flying Mouse]

I also don't think it would be possible because the sloped runway is rather bumpy.

But hey, anything is possible I guess  :-/

[Anxyous]

Wanted to fly a Cessna 182 around there, realized it was just below ten thousand feet, was like "Oh heeeeiiill no!"

[ozzy72]

Err actually I did do it on the sloped runway
