Today's cool airport of the day is at the ski resort of Courcheval in France. At one end, the runway is 1941m (6386') and at the other it's 2006m (6581'). There's a 535m (1760') part of the runway that is at an amazing angle of 18.5 degrees.
You know there's no flat spot anywhere in the area when the airport has to look like this:
It must be a daunting view for first time visitors.
So what's at the end of the runway if you don't have enough speed up?
OK. Nothing...
And what does an aeroplane look like when it's on its departure run?
An amazing place that just goes to show how versatile aeroplanes really are.

Jack ... I share your enthusiasm about flying in a tin can somewhere. I do enjoy the flight when it becomes level, except for the take off and landing ... it's all white knuckle stuff at those parts of the journey. I nearly always get a window seat so I know whether we are going to crash or otherwise. I've also spent a reasonable time seated in helicopters ... the best part is when they hover between one foot and zero ... no higher. But I'm an areoplane enthusiast, go figure!
Interesting photos.
Avoid Papua New Guinea then Jack, or the interior at least. Short airstrips with drop offs just as in the photos, except forget the tarmac.. grass.
Michael,
My family spent three years in PNG so I'm sure that some of the airports up in the mountains will get a run at some point.
