Spud 27 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 That Congo one is absolutely insane ! Imagine if one of those kids just happened to run across the runway or even an animal ! What if the plane overshot the runway ! For gods sake, there are huts and people at the end ! At least Andras has fencing around the houses.

IMZ 59 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Ideas for Vol2 Heh ? I wouls suggest OPGT Gilgit Airport in Pakistan ICAO OPGT, surrounded by mountains - If you mess the approach up your crashing into surrounding mountains. Serviced only by PIA ATR Turboprops only. Cockpit view Starts getting interesting round 5.24 Passenger view And enjoy the views lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ardix 11 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 +1 for Walilkale road/curved runway! Here you can watch a takeoff: There is also an interesting "base airport" for this area: Goma! Goma is a city in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, on the northern shore of Lake Kivu, next to the Rwandan city of Gisenyi. The lake and the two cities are in the western branch of the Great Rift Valley, and Goma lies only 13 to 18 km (8-11 mi) due south of the crater of the active Nyiragongo Volcano. [...] In January 2002, Nyiragongo erupted, sending a stream of lava 200 metres (219 yd) to one kilometre (1,100 yd) wide and up to two metres (6½ ft) deep through the center of the city as far as the lake shore. Agencies monitoring the volcano were able to give a warning and most of the population of Goma evacuated to Gisenyi. The lava destroyed 40% of the city (more than 4,500 houses and buildings). There were some fatalities caused by the lava and by emissions of carbon dioxide, which causes asphyxiation. The lava also covered over the northern 1 km of the 3-kilometre (10,000 ft) runway of Goma International Airport, isolating the terminal and apron which were at that end.[3] The lava can easily be seen in satellite photographs,[4] and aircraft can be seen using the 2-km (6,500-ft) southern section of the runway which is clear of lava. In 2005, volcanic activity again threatened the city. http://www.airliners...oto//1162097/L/ http://www.airliners...oto//1162096/L/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
