It's Mount Washington, New Hampshire.

Did they change the identifier? I'm so confused.....

What were you flying? That much wind must have made for a fun ILS

 

[mikecweb]

So you landed on top of a mountain?

It's Mount Washington, New Hampshire.

It is the worlds windiest place with an AWOS. We have the same here in Washington, KSMP is Stampede Pass and in the middle of the Cascade Mountain range.

Isn't the challenge what keeps it fresh? This is my first post to this list, Hello.

That was a poor decision to land in those conditions. Wouldn't fly in the 121 world.

Holy Crap... It's the Smoke Dog! How's it going man?

And I don't think he landed there. It's the top of a mountain. There isn't a runway or anything. It's just got an identifier for the AWOS station.

 

[Cessnaflyer]

This is where the AWOS is

Thats what made me wonder. The wx at the airport was:

Good catch Ethan. I was just responding to the title of the thread "i just landed in this".

 

[Bandit_Driver]

DOH!

Got me on that one...

I'm gonna have to busta cap

in that fool....LOL

 

[NYer914]

Wouldn't fly in the 121 world.

Why?

 

[meritflyer]

Why?

Dude, do you need to ask why?

That was a bonehead move, IMO.

 

[jtrain609]

I can't takeoff in winds over 40 knots, and I can't taxi in winds over 50. What business do you have being out when the winds are 86 knots?

 

[Flysher]

Guys I'm pretty sure he's joking. I would venture to say those conditions are not even possible to land in.

 

[mikecweb]

Hey lets find the worst reported weather in the country and say I flew in it. That makes me cool right???

Damn... we must have some Saints and Patriots fans posting on this thread.
