CURIOUS AIRPORTS : MIRNY, SIBERIA

And dangerous for helicopters see post.

Making a world tour I arrived to Mirny , Siberia .
In addition to the flight, I'm googling to know the area of each stage, and I found a surprise.
Mirny was created in 1955 to opérate an open air diamond mine . Today the crater created is one of the major craters in Earth and is located near the airport.
I recommend googling a bit for your curiosity .

It is after several helicopters were engulfed by the air currents in the crater that these aircraft are prohibited from flying over the mine.

I made a screen capture in FS9 and FSX, no cráter or mine. Also checked in X-plane, no crater at all.

Landing a AN24 is the only video I've found :
