Dangerous Airport Approaches (FSX): SABA - Juancho Yrausquin Airport in Netherlands Antilles

One of the world's most dangerous airports is the visual approach into Juancho Yrausquin Airport (SABA) in Netherlands Antilles.

The approach is hard enough w/ the runway being as short as it is (according to locals, the runway is the shortest commercial runway in the world at only 1300 ft. in length!), but on top of that, there are trees just above minimum altitude bordering the runway.

2 separate approaches were flown.
1st: Visual landing to RWY 30 (the easiest way to land into this airport as the mountain/volcano isn't in the way)
2nd: Visual landing to RWY 12 (opposite RWY - much, much harder as the mountain/volcano is in the way, and you have to negotiate the altitude and still safely manage your approach speed).

WinAir Airlines (http://www.sti-hosts.com/fly-winair/) actually flies in/out of this airport w/ a fleet Twin Otter!

Flown in a DHC 6 Twin Otter Skybus for FSX and
FSX default scenery, custom traffic settings, and realism set to High.

Maybe far from perfect... but then again, I'm not a pilot in real life!!!
