Pretty much any/every visual approach I fly now days is the most challenging...

Anyhow, I'm just pointing out that some of the most difficult airports in the US -- ASE, SUN, OTH when the weather is bad -- are either exclusively or mostly flown into by regional pilots. And yet we are apparently all ex-felons, guys with multiple DUIs, or learning-impaired, according to some of the nonsense on this forum...

Northport stacks, south stanchion Throgg’s Neck, LGA tower cab, Willie B, south on Hudson, right turn at Statue, and land on 29 at EWR between 22L arrivals. Rinse....repeat all day. How’s that for a blast from the past?
