Courchevel

I will be flying again in just a few days. This Wednesday at 9 AM I will be at the Winter Haven airport again, readying for departure to continue my education in the art and science of flying.

Meanwhile, I have been looking at some remarkable aviation pursuits online. Check out this video of a Beech King Air landing at Courchevel Airport in the Alps:



Incredible, eh? Short runway with a slope. Those King Airs have some power to them too, so I'm sure that controlling the power to get up the runway without overshooting is somewhat finicky. You can also see this winter landing at Courchevel in a much smaller plane:



Wow! All this and more I found on PlasticPilot.net, which provided me hours of fun.
