The DHC6 is hands down my favorite. Some fun things to try:
- Set up a nice strong wind (40-50 kts), land on a helipad
- World's shortest commercial airline service: Westray (EGEW) to Papa Westray (EGEP)
- World's shortest commercial passenger airport runway: Saba's Juancho E. Yrausquin airport (TNCS); the real-world service is based out of Princess Juliana airport (TNCM) on St. Martin.
- World's most dangerous airport: Lukla (Tenzing-Hillary, VNLK), serviced out of Kathmandu airport (VNKT)
- Germany's most challenging airport: Heligoland Dune (EDXH), serviced out of Cuxhaven/Nordholz (ETMN) or Heide-Büsum (EDXB) IRL, but there are many airports in Northern Germany that would do
- The German and Dutch wadden islands, just off the North Sea coast - VFR island hopping is great, or you can fly out of some larger airport (EHAM, EDDV, EDDH, etc.) IFR, and then fly a visual approach.
