Do pilots need nerves of steel to land at disused airfields ?
I was just wondering if pilots need nerves of steel to fly into dis-used airfields ?
I only ask as I recently heard (from a friend) that when filming for Saving Private Ryan was being made, there was a loud jet engine sound (reverse thrust) from a private jet landing at the then recently shut down Hatfield site.
I would imagine that must have been Steven Spilberg in his private jet.
This must be a hard procedure to carry out as there is no weather reports or local information.
