Airplanes always land in the same direction as they took off.


As I said befo it all depends on where you are. Take a look at
Gap-Tallard LFNA on a sunny day and you will see glider tugs AND
paradrop planes like Twin Otters taking off one way and landing in the
other - for efficiency indeed. Quite funny to take off from the 21 and
hear a Pilatur Porter announce finals for the 03! I suppose one gets
used to it.
