Amazing Mountain Airport - Altiport de Courchevel
I received those pictures via an email by my friend, without any detail ob this amazing mountain airport. It took me some time to firgure out this airport/landing site is located in Courchevel France.
An overview of the famous Altiport tucked away in the mountains of Courchevel! The field, at a height of 6581ft (2006m) has a runway 535m in length and slopes up the mountain at 18.5% (nearly 11 degrees), 200ft different in height - an amazing landing site!

No, Goldeneye’s was straight, this one is from Tomorrow Never Dies (the opening credits, with the jets).
