The Google Earth F-16 flight simulator can be a challenging game.

LANDING AT AIRPORTS:
          Anyone who has ever landed the Google Earth F-16 knows that it’s difficult at first, it’s challenging.  The game at first is to land on long, wide, flat runways, without crashing.  But after a while, and lots of crashes, landing on easy runways becomes, well, too easy and not much fun.  To rekindle the challenge and the fun, the game is to land on more difficult runways – short, narrow, bumpy, hilly, uneven runways with difficult approaches.  After those runways are mastered, the game is to move on to even more difficult runways.  The goal is to find runways that continue to be challenging, no matter how many times you’ve landed there, and no matter how hard you concentrate.  Some of the airports on this website are very difficult; some may test your frustration tolerance.  If you find they aren’t challenging enough, I hope you will find even more difficult runways and post them here.  Here’s something else that makes the game fun: difficult airports are usually located in spectacular settings – mountainous terrain or islands where it’s great fun to fly the F-16.  

LANDING ON MOUNTAINS:
          The game is to land on mountain tops, ridges, cols or saddles.  Some of these landings can be extremely difficult and the scenery is almost guaranteed to be spectacular.  

STUNTS:
          The game is to perform difficult stunts.  The F-16 can fly straight up, upside down, and can do rolls, so there should be many of these.

MANEUVERS:
          The game is to perform difficult maneuvers.  The goal isn’t so much to avoid a crash, but rather to remain oriented.  The question isn’t “Why the #### did I crash?” it’s “Where the #### am I?”

SPECTACULAR FLIGHTS:
          These flights aren’t that difficult, but they are so pretty, or so spectacular, they are fun to do (a few times at least).

CONTRIBUTE TO THIS SITE:
           I'm hoping that others will contribute to this site because there are many more difficult airports, mountains, stunts, maneuvers, and spectacular flights waiting to be found.
