Rio Amazonas; SESM. This airport is way down in a DEEP hole. I first discovered this airport in FS2000, and there, it is quite capable of being landed at by most ordinary light to medium aircraft. I just remembered this airport while galavanting around South America in FS9, so thought I would drop in with my modified Douglas DC-3. HA!!! fat chance! I tried a few times with less than stellar results... ("That'll buff out...") has anybody tackled this with anything other than a helicopter or other STOL vehicle? I don't know what this airport looks like in FSX, so don't know if those users can try landing there or not. This is the second one of these style airports I have come across. The first one, VAHB I was able to get in and out of with my DC-3. This one I am not so sure of. Anyone want to give it a try? I'll even wish you luck! Hahahahahhaha!!!! Jon Frg013

There is one like that in Alaska too but I don't recall the ICAO. Can only get to it with a helicopter.

Thanks for the post, it seems that we got a challenge here . I heard about a Sarajevo procedure that NATO airplanes used in Sarajevo to land safely. i gonna try that on this SESM hole airport .

That's got to be a design error!

Well, after Google Earth, and Wikipedia, plus a few other sites I can't translate or pronounce, I declare SESM to be a foobar. The airport lies between two lesser mountain ranges in a valley. Looks to be normally accessible by typical aircraft. Amazing that it would show up as a hole in the ground in two seperate flight sims. Did anybody manage to land there? Or get out for that matter?? VAHB would be my other challenge to you. I did it in my DC-3. can you?
Allen, did you ever find that airport in Alaska? I wouldn't mind giving it a try.
