As commercial pilot I bet you have seen your share huh?
Not too many. Nothing like that, of course. Love to try it! I might do the
Meribel thing though! That looks like a blast. Worst I think I've seen is
probably Narsarsuaq. Ajjacio in Corsica is also kind of interesing. There
is no going around once you descend below about 500 feet. Well, there is,
but you'd be lucky not to hear a big "crunch" ain the last 1/2 second of
your life. And it's short, and we usualy landed with a tailwind.
But really that's child's play compared to some of those mountain fields.
Bertie.
