It's a Long way down

Flying over Greenland, I spotted something in the distance and went to explore... and found a nice terrain glitch,

This in the middle of absolute nowhere! :-?



plenty of room at the bottom for an airstrip!



That's one heck of a climb out though!



Thanks for looking ,... just for some fun!

The funny thing about those anomolies is that it is quite easy to fly in and land! But flying out is hard because you lose a ton of airspeed trying to fly straight up and out.

Lots of circling in something small, Helicopters shouldn't have a problem, I couldn't get the Su-47 back out without slamming into the wall on the way up.

I found one of those once and tried going out with a Cessna...ooh good times

I'm working on designing an airport in Anarctica. I was going to check what altitude I had to set the field to, and when I started, I had something very similar to that. Basically an airport thousands of feet underground with some space cut away. I was doin' it in a Huey so I was able to get up, but it was very tricky. Whenn your in a helicopter going straight up and ther's walls on all sides of you less than 50-100 feet from your rotors... We'll just say it gets a little sporty a times. I did get to the lip of it though, and I almost lost all my lift. I got over and landed. After all that excitement I forgot to take my altitude.
