Lukla--Ever been there?

Any one ever fly out of here. Runway ends in a sheer cliff and you cannot land on the runway that you takeoff.

Yep, that's one of my favourite airports in FS. You can actually get a reasonably large plane off the ground there if you just drive full speed off the cliff with the flaps fully lowered. Landing is a different story though... ;-)

someone should paint little plane markings on the rear wall and underneath put......"Number of planes that have hit this wall" :)
