Naim 6 Report post Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) Lhasa Airport LXA at 3600m is pretty extreme. In the thin air, my Air China A332 (above) seemed to take forever to take off on the flight to Chengdu. Edited October 22, 2010 by Naim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yusoff 1 Report post Posted October 24, 2010 * SPOILER ALERT * The list is here: http://www.pilotsofamerica.com/forum/showpost.php?p=611260&postcount=5 Lukla is in! 9. LPMA - Madeira, Portugal - Location on island, wind conditions, runway built out into ocean on stilts. OT. There are rumours that PEN expansion would include runway extension into the sea (rwy04)... and the existing road will be tunneled beneath the runway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mohd Suhaimi Fariz 2 Report post Posted October 25, 2010 Some pedestrians stopped in middle of runway to take pics. Soon no more I believe. The road's going to be only for emergency vehicles, the rest would be routed through a tunnel underneath a new terminal they're constructing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted October 25, 2010 Denny, Thanks a lot for the Walikale road landings !!! did you see those 2 crashed AN-2's ? how do they clear the road off cars and/or pedestrians ? last video: 3 LET-410's on one single road for unloading...

Hehehe, yeah, nice one, Denny. I also found a take-off video, with the left bend in the 'runway'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEN_mwn_NaM In above vid you can also see ppl blocking traffic at the far end. === Edited October 26, 2010 by Naim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Denny Yen 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2010 did you see those 2 crashed AN-2's ? Those AN-2s must be at least 60 years old. The L-410 in 2nd video is just slightly bigger than Shorts Skyvan....the same type as "croc on the plane" Chinese TV media re-enactment...viewer discretion advised: they don't mask crash victims faces. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ng9szPvxcM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waiping 12 Report post Posted October 26, 2010 I believe there are only a few places in the world where you can park the plane in your house garage. I thought only John Travolta have such luxury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted October 26, 2010 Thanks a lot Doc for the take-off video too !!! That underpowered LET barely makes it over those trees; probably, those AN-2's were less lucky and remained there forever... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
