Fllying into an island paradise

A FRIEND TOOK THESE PICTURES FOR ME because I asked her for a picture of the landing approach, and because she knows I am an airplane nut. The Dash 7 was landing into a tropical island resort in the South China Sea.








I also downloaded a landing approach photo from a contributor to the Wings Over Asia.com site who flew into the island on a Piper aircraft. Read the article published by Meng Ng.



Runway in the foreground. Looks like a Pangkor approach with hills on both sides of the runway and terrain at the end of the runway
