Looked good to me. I'd have the locals do some excavating on those ridges/peaks, given what they had to work with, looked good- keep it Day/VMC.

Reminds me of two things: the good old days at Hong Kong's Kai Tak and my own horrific landings on my C-172 into BFI using the VA Hospital as my landmark.

Looks like fun!

Is he as close to the terrain as he looks?

It's just too bad that they landed short of the runway on the displaced threshold One brick shy of the first one and it might as well be a cliff wall.

I noticed that. However, his goal (as mine would be) was to get it down. Now. And get into reverse. Now. It does appear that he doesn't have too much extra pavement to play with.

I just watched it again and noticed alot of black before the "actual" runway begins. I still stand by my earlier assesment. Looks like fun!

You're right, it looks like a blast! I sure miss the IGS into KaiTak!!
