Well... I do, and I was flying the plane! Checked my logbook, sure enough the entries are there. We even did some training there. I must have been in there 20 times or so. I may even have taken some pictures.

Scatsta was never as much fun as Sumburgh though. Nothing beats a visual onto 33...

We were in and out of there three times a day when the Braer sank nearby. The TAF mentioned no precipitation, and a temp well above freezing, but there was a runway friction group which gave the braking action as poor/poor/poor. When we questioned the tower, they told us it was due to oil blowing across the runway from the Braer, and they had no met code for that!

Sure enough it was very slippery, and even using full reverse we were lucky to stop.

And then there was Lerwick...
