Flight Experience Simulator - What airports?

[neon_crossing]

Hey guys, I have a gift voucher for flight experience this Saturday and have to pick a couple of airports to take off and land at.
I am open to suggestions to which might make a good choice and why?
Cheers,

Pick CBR and approach from the South. See if they can recreate a windy day for you.

Kai Tak is the obvious suggestion.

St Maarten (SXM) - who wouldn't want to go there?

 

[Welsh-Kiwi]

+1 for Kai Tak.

 

[erkpod]

+1 for Kai Tak.

+2.

Also I'd do Queenstown (ZQN).

+1 for Kai Tak.

I've done Flight Experience with Kai Tak, I did a few approaches (it's not as tough as it seems, but definitely worthwhile).

I had a 90 minute session, so also flew the entire LAX-LAS segment as well (probably my second most travelled segment of all time).

LAS at night is always a great sight!

 

[TomVexille]

+2.

Also I'd do Queenstown (ZQN).

+3 for Kai Tak

and +2 for ZQN

Would love to have a crack at Kai Tak, checkerboard approach...

Many years ago had a hairy landing at Lugano (Switzerland).

Good luck!

Reagan National, Washington DC (DCA). The winding approach from the north where you have to follow the Potomac River to avoid overflying the White House, CIA and Pentagon.

Wellington, over the bay with a Strong wind coming from the north or south. I remember once flying in there sitting on the wing, looking out and seeing the runway between the engine and wingtip!

Ditto for that, it was a Fokker Friendship, years ago,

Mine was a B1900D... needless to say my first thought was, that really shouldnt be there, it should be atleast between the engine and the body.....

I had a similar experience going into Hobart one time. Certainly an eye opener, or butt clencher.
