Techsan Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 WTF!? I would think that Sonde, Greenland would be on the list. Also, maybe they should include ORBD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hd5032 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 How about the deck of an aircraft carrier? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmeg130 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I gotta go with U-Taphao. THAT place has ended more flying careers than HK... (Or Souda if you're a rescue guy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hueypilot812 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I'd nominate Teguchigalpa's Toncontin Airport. Not easy considering it sits in a bowl and is relatively short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCAirWinger Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Melvile Hall in Dominica is one of the most dangerous in the Caribbean. Not sure why they have St Marteen on the list...it was a piece of cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacAirCoug Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 What about Laughlin, Columbus, Vance, or Sheppard? Knowing what I know now, I'd fear for my life entering any one of those patterns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperStud Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 On a different note, yeah so if you are flying at Nellis and have any EPs step one of the checklist should be to center up TACAN channel 12 bring it back home, I don't care if you are up in Reville. Lots of runway available but talk about asspain.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ITB Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 How about the deck of an aircraft carrier? :) Agreed. No, they are not public use airports,...but how about Indian Mountain, Sparrevohn, Cape Newenham, Cape Romanzoff, Cape Lisburne,...anyone? Definately, about the most fun you can have trying to land an airplane with your pants on! Commit points at these places, except Cape Lisburne, run between 1.0 NM and 2.5 NM final if my memory serves me correctly,....and yes, that does mean 3 engine assault time, cause you ain't going to be able to go around and miss the rocks.

amcflyboy Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 WTF!? I would think that Sonde, Greenland would be on the list. Also, maybe they should include ORBD. eh, I gotta disagree with you on that one, at least in the top ten anyways. Sure it can be a little hair raising, espcially in IMC with the rising Fjords as you get further down the inlet, but I would definitely fear the traffic pattern of any UPT base anyday. The only incident that I ever heard of was back in the 70's when a C-141 cartwheeled on landing there because the runway gave the pilots the optical illusion of it coming to an end a lot quicker than normal.

Guest Boom Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 No Manas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Caddis Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 No Manas? Your kidding right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Boom Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Your kidding right? Never landed there I take it? Where they'll clear you to land with aircraft on the runway, or clear aircraft to take off while you're still taxiing off the runway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Last Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Never landed there I take it? Where they'll clear you to land with aircraft on the runway, or clear aircraft to take off while you're still taxiing off the runway. How about any place a co-pilot lands? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where they'll clear you to land with aircraft on the runway, or clear aircraft to take off while you're still taxiing off the runway. I'll grant you the controllers there are a little suspect. Of the top 10 most dangerous places to land, however, Manas certainly is not among them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like TAC said the controllers were below average but not a challenging approach. The drive to the 12 Chimneys was more dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techsan Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 The drive to the 12 Chimneys was more dangerous. Not sure what the 12 Chimneys is, but our taxi ride to the Hyatt was pretty f-ing scary. Guy was all over the place. 3 nights at the Hyatt helped though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
