This is inspired by a [http://flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3295 thread found on the FlightGear forums at the end of March/2009 ("Going to Mount Everest")].
 
This page is meant to eventually help maintain a list of airports/places with challenging real life scenery and/or complex departure/approach procedures, so that this information can be used to showcase FlightGear aircraft performing interesting departures/approaches in challenging (e.g. mountaineous and windy) surroundings.
 
Various airports have been added here already,  based on a [http://www.pprune.org/tech-log/331425-most-difficult-approaches.html related discussion by professional pilots on pprune.org].
