From the Flight Deck - Danbury Municipal Airport (DXR)

Danbury Municipal (DXR) is a small to medium sized, primarily General and Corporate Aviation airport located southwest of the city of Danbury, Connecticut. While the bulk of the traffic is General Aviation, it does have some jet Air Taxi operations as well as a number of flight schools offering fixed and rotor wing instruction. This mix of pilot experience and aircraft capability makes DXR a complex and interesting place to work and fly.

The production of these is SO spot on. I love these!!!

My old flight instructor called the runway 35 approach the "death star approach" because it is reminiscent of Luke Skywalker flying down the Death Star canyon in the original Star wars movie. This is a great video. I had no idea a video like this existed.

Good video, difficult for first time but tower very helpful.

Here's to Stan Kaneko and Ray Noble....some of us even remember DXR before there was a control tower. I never thought it was a "difficult" field to fly out of, but I suppose learning there made landing any place else a cakewalk.

I learned to fly there, solo’d in Dec ‘68, then worked with Stan, Eric Pearson, and Ray Noble. Long before the tower. Richard Bach flew in one day with a radio,n tower wasn’t happy
