Just looked up LSGT.

It has no instrument approaches, so no way I can get in there

But hey it does have Customs (on PPR) so that's a start

It has some interesting terrain around... I would have to fly there at FL150 and then do a descending orbit all the way down

Actually I know a pilot who used to fly cargo 707s into Kabul that way - an orbit from FL350 all the way down.

Anyway, yes, I am up for this. Especially after today; cancelled a flight because of a lot of OVC003/300m around, either actual or forecast or both. But absolutely perfect for IFR because all the muck is low down.
