Start a flight in any of the airstrips in Idaho that end with USFS. Some of those strips are in deep valleys, have short runways. I was flying out of one of them using Brian Gladden's Gippsland GA-8 Air Van....mile after mile I was flying through a valley with some pretty high peaks on either side of me. When I tried to climb up out of the valley, I began my climb too late, which resulted in my trying to climb too fast...lost airspeed, stalled and went into a fatal spin....me, my co-pilot and 8 screaming passengers died.....the only witnesses to the tragic event were a few laughing squirrels and one startled Black Tail deer.

Not sure what these airstrips are like with the default mesh, but using Rhumbaflappy's LOD5/7 mesh, they can be really challenging as the mountains are a lot higher.
