I wouldn't like to try it in IFR conditions or at night!
Unfortunately it doesn't exist in FSX.

From what I could turn up via Google it's a mining strip and only exists to service the mine in the area. Having looked at the area in GE it's going to be a major task getting the rock/ore out of there as there is the river (non-navigable by the seems of things) and nothing else but trees and mountains for miles around.

I'm not convinced that is the Tulsequah Airstrip. I looked at Google and Bing and I can't match any location with the video. The mine airstrip is upstream from the town by several miles and has no blockage as shown by several other videos of the airstrip -

The only other airstrip I found in the area is to the east, and it is oriented wrong to the video.
I'll do some more digging because that's one hell of an airstrip.

I would have thought they knew where they were going???
Wherever it is the point of the post was the exciting (i.e. hairy) approach and landing on a strip that's not really visible until the aircraft is committed to land.
Great entertainment

Wow looks like they could have used some "exclude" areas when they built that landing strip!

Very entertaining video, thanks Gary!
