I went here for the first time today with my instructor and found it more fun/challenging to land 33 AND if you have a problem landing on 33 you have a lot more room ahead of you for a go around or whatever it may be, falling terrain is a big reason. But its pretty damn cool, when u land 33 you have to hug that west side ridge really close so you can get base to final. I definetley plan on takin some buddies of mine up there next spring
its hard to land or take off a learjet there but it can be done!
even landed a Falcon Fighter Plane there
on flight sim of course
there is also a mission based at this airport on flight unlimited III

My favorite airport on Flight Simulator 2004!
I love making my own missions there like with an ranger helicopter and go to the mountain and return!

Isn't Ranger Creek a one-way airport? Landing to the south doesn't leave much in the way of options for a go-around, no?

Looks like a fun challenge. On my list of airports to visit back home in WA. Flying in the Midwest is nowhere near as interesting.

Try landing a 737 with full flaps, max brakes, and the parking break on at Ranger Creek...on flit. sim of course
