Went in and hopped into doing leg 11, and I must say, I found a FUN airport landing. Drops 500 feet in the last 500 feet before the runway, so you clear the houses and trees and then try to pancake on the runway.

Headed towards the objective, and climbing as fast as I can.

Crawled up the hill trying to get over the mountains

Now in the mountains, nice place...

Full flaps, no engine, and trying desperate to bleed off speed and altitude but there is a steep drop.

Landed, hopefully you get the sense of the cliff side that you have to drop from to land!

Leg 11 finished. but I won't be flying as much due to daylight savings time, Fallout 3, and morrowind. Leg 12 might be tuesday when I have the day off.

Thanks!, Yes, it was a scary landing, if I was in a real plane I would of had to go around as I would not have risked it, but on sims I take more risk! :D
