Various landings into Sumburgh in the late 80's early 90's with Dan Air (HS748) and British Air Ferries (Viscounts), only place I have got out and had serious difficulty standing, also the only place I have seen Force 8 Fog!
in the time I've been SLF and my own flying, the worst, absolute worst place to land, Sumburgh. in any strength of Easterly.
Holey sheit is that a fun landing . . . .
Been on the left of the aircraft, looking out the starboard side window past the ashen pax on that side, down the chimneys of the houses below us, in free fall with the rotor off the cliffs.

the guys who flew us up there were proper pilots . .
