similar in the Middle East when the dust in the air is the exact same color as the dust on the ground.

Pretty much the same deal.

Not sure what you’re trying to get at.

ABQ runway 26 at night from the west. Gotta turn within about 3 miles. So you're rolling out on final at about 1000'. Runways are hard to pick out at night and you can't see it from the left seat until you're leveling wings on final.

Visual to 33 @ KASE is by far most challenging

SBA was similar. Off the coast till you can turn a 2-3 mile base over the strawberry field. By the time you rolled out on final you’d be at about 500-700’. Land on a 5700’ runway. Pretty fun. Specially since you’d slam dunk over the LAX traffic to begin.

That’s what I suspected. Didn’t want the thread to go off the rails.

What Techsan said. Doing Aspen for 5 years was by far the most fun in a 121 jet.
