Here's something a little different!

These are not my pictures [unfortunately!], and I know that they have been around for a while, but they still look amazing!

This is the airport at the French Savoy ski resort of Courchevel. The slope is 18.5% [!!!] at the steepest part of the 535 meter long runway. That's incredible! The first shot is during summer, and the remainder are rather more chilly. Thanks Mother Goose for sending these to me. Enjoy!

Geez, you'd be committed once you pulled that throttle!

And a bit earlier than that I would think... :-)

I think that's the airport that was used at the start of Tomorrow Never Dies.

Quite possibly - bet you wouldn't want me flying you into that place in a hurry [out of it would probably be easier!]!
