• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Kinda OT: Maybe FSX didnt get it wrong

i've been to Madeira and that runway extension rocks !! you can drive under it on the highway . really impressive !
 
Lindberg Field in San Diego is pretty tight too, right downtown and not much wiggle room at all. I bet a lot of white knuckles in cockpits landing there.....tho never had a bad bent bird there to my knowledge.
 
Lindberg field did have a terrible midair involving a PSA 727 on final and a small GA with a student pilot and a flight instructor aboard

was it 1978 or so?

I saw it from a distance - was working that day on Washington @ 4th ave at a Chevron station - a pump jockey back when there were 'full service' stations... heard the crump of an impact and saw the reflection of a jet on fire in the windshield I was washing...turned around and watched the stricken plane go down.

It disappeared below my vantage point and a second or two later there was an awful whump and a huge smoke plume - people were stopped at that busy intersection and someone just got out of his car and stood there for the longest time - no one moved.

you can google it - Flight 182 may they rest
 
There's also a documentation on Flight 182. Not sure whether it was "Mayday" or "Seconds From Disaster" though.
