Not one of "my" airfields, so a tad off topic. I found this online and couldn't resist reposting it. Pretty hairy huh?

Hairy yeah. Do you know where this airfield is? Are there any more airfields, runways especially in Australia that may be regarded as 'hairy'? I hope they are not on the syllabus for my licence.

Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport
Saba, Netherlands Antilles

Background:
Getting to this paradise-like island can be a bit distressing thanks to a 1300-foot-long runway, slightly longer than most aircraft carrier runways.

From my Hammo trip, here is Shute Harbour. Not hairy as such, but a good sized dog leg on the approach due to the rather large chunk of rock on finals

This is what it looks like flying into the nation's capital from the cockpit of our Cessna Cutlass RG. We travel up from Bairnsdale over the Great Divide... Always good to see this site.



Hope this youtube video works on your system
