SKMD also does not have runway lights. (FS9). But what a runway in the middle of the city.....

Great job, Andrew

[Andrew Godden]

Martin,

Haven't you heard about those "special" Colombian night flights. They occur regularly with a destination of somewhere in the USA, so I understand.

With so much "light" from the city buildings surrounding SKMD, I couldn't resist throwing in an added twist. ;D It's becoming more of a challenge for me to come up with scenarios that will challenge you guys.

Cheers
Andrew

I'm kinda reminded of times long past, when we found certain RW airfields by what we could NOT see, i.e., a dark area amidst a sea of light. Just like here, the "black hole" was our destination.

Now if somebody wanted to be truly helpful, they could shave a few hundred feet from that hill we encounter on approach!

What! And make it easy for you Jon? It's not in my nature. ;D

Cheers

What hill? I'm glad it was dark now, fancy avoiding tactics and the Tudor do not go hand in hand.

Hang on to your navigator in the dark alleys Jon, the kidnap trade can fetch quite a price for skilled E6B twirlers.......

This approach was even more interesting when I realised that the Auster lacked landing or taxi lights....
