Wo! But did it turn out OK? They didn't actually show the plane coming to a halt. nt

MS Flight Sim or X-Plane? Looks like the Cessna cockpit, but could be a Boeing.

for that harsh environment.

And thats on a clear day! Can you imagine trying that in a squall?
Its a De Havilland, though, so probably not as risky as it looks.

I got to do touch and goes at Stewart airforce base before they turned it into an airport in a Cessna 152 (tiny two seater).
Google says their runways are
9/27 3,601.8 metres (11,817 ft) Asphalt
16/34 1,830.019 metres (6,004 ft) Asphalt
That was fun as hell. Those runways were LONG compared to this one.

(8,445 posts)6. That's because it went off the end of the runway
I'm just kidding. Bad joke, I know.

While I've played around with the Cessna simulation, I am kind of stuck on the 182 that I learned to fly in.
