I've landed a couple of times on the Burj Al Arab helipad.

Hmmm sounds as interestin' as I imagined it to be! Somethin' I'll never do me thinks? Can't see the locals hiring an R22 to a foreign PPL & letting him try is luck on holidays eh?

Challenging Landing Pads

Amazing stuff there, most of it way out of this (thousand hour) pilots league. I landed in Wolfe Ck meteorite crater once. That was interesting in that the breeze in there seemed to manage to come from every direction at once.

We got out to swap pilots so the other guy could savour the 'experience' on the way out. On the way around to the pax side the echo of the engine bouncing off the circular walls made it sound like there were more like half a dozen choppers in there instead of just one.

So did we. That is another PPRuNer there having a "Garrison pint" enroute to Norway a few years ago.

The two in the front are the babies. Momma by the tailwheel is significantly bigger but not as big as the dad.
