The old Quito airport was always fun.

And they deride regional guys as somehow being beneath their standards. (Sure, I've flown with a few guys who probably shouldn't have a driver's license, let alone an ATP, but there are those kinda guys in every outfit.) 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...

Wasn't so much challenging but fun.

Cleared for the visual and landing into KBUF rwy 13 from FL240. Center asked if it was true about the 3 holer that you could start down when the runway went under your nose. He worked it out and cleared us all the way down from altitude.

30 years ago flying freight.

I really enjoyed the approach into Tortola (Beef Island) back in the day in the ATR. A lifetime ago it seems.

Almost forgot- EWR ILS 22L circle at the marker to 29, stay on the west side of the river. Just make sure you don’t land on the taxiway.

For bonus airmanship points circle at the **inner** marker.
