Mo brev' (Modena's [Italy] dialect for "nice"). :D

Beside for the dimensions though the 225, especially if light on fuel, can be landed almost anywhere there's enough horizontal clearance (take off is another matter). I landed it at LICR at the third try and more or less the same amount of tries were needed for the old approach at the 13 of Kai Tak. :)

Try it in a Concorde (without slewing) if you dare. ;D The old supersonic Lady IS the term of paragon for skills in landing. In fact, when I'm REALLY bored, I try to land the old Lady on some next to impossible approach taken from Doherty's collection... oftentimes with less than pleasant results. :(

Yes, I am among those wo are gifted mental by birth. ;)


PS
I'm going to try Lukla too, oin the next days. You people have inspired me again, thank you. Time to download the meshes for the Himalaya. :)

There's but one real cure for human stupidity. It's called DEATH.

At the moment mourning the assassination of sarcasm and irony for the good of the "higher".

Try this one for a real challenge! Both approaches are very steep as you can see.  :o

That's where I was: Bhojpur! Fairly close to Boratski, eh?
