Re: Courchevel
There's a very good reason I didn't post a landing screenie, Tony. I haven't managed a landing, yet :roll:Techy111 wrote:Wheres the landing screenie......?![]()

I thought I'd be clever and show you a helicopter landing instead. But I'm crapola at that, too :-(

That's it - back to Kai Tak and big jets for me

Nothing wrong with that one Ian....
From what I can see you are just airborne...just a small flip over the side, and you're home-free ..

Re: Courchevel
I like the video of the Baron landing at Courchevel, I'd like to do that myself one day, who wants to loan me a Baron ;-)
Here is the small 'Altiport' near Val Thorens, just an hours skiing from Courchevel. You can see the runway sloping away in the second shot, same as in Courchevel the landing is one way, take-off the other. I've only seen Jodels and a Piper Cub (all on skis) using it, I wonder what's the largest type that could land there, I don't think you can go much larger.

Due to shortages and cutbacks the light at the end of the tunnel has been switched off.
