Wonder why they named this airport Phuket Intl.?

[A/SGT.Mav316]

Here I am cruising into Phuket Intl. one very happy pilot of a new joystick, so that I can finally enjoy flying the I3D Team B1B Lancer.



And here I am after a very bouncie landing that collapsed my landing gear and forced me off the runway (like at Teterboro Intl in New Jersey).  ???

Hey any landing that you can walk away from is a good one. Just brush your pants off and just say "Phuket"  ;D

Now I know why they named it that!  ::)

p.s.: This airport is a freeware addon (airport code VTSP) this place is really located in Thailand.

In case you're wondering, it's pronounced Poo-ket.
Anywho, they're nice shots.

My girlfriends going there in a few months for a month, I promised her she can promise landings in 747 incase the flight crew gets killed, you never know!

Well I am american and I am taught in school that if you see Phu in any word it is pronounced "fuh" with a F sound and Ket is pronounced "Kit".

I don't know how you get POO out PHU. Maybe that is the way they tell you to pronounce it to avoid critics like me from making fun of its name. So Phuket.
