Challenging place to land, Courchevel Airport, France

Catalina is not that bad if you just go for the numbers and not let the slope intimidate you. Try Lake Isabella (Kern Valley). Parts of the year it's almost surrounded by water.

That shouldn't be an airstrip but a ride at Disneyland!

Great thread! Would love to see some more extreme fields if possible.. But, you have to agree though gentlemen....there's NO airstrip ANYWHERE in the world, that's more terrifying than a carrier landing in bad weather at night...!

My hat off to them!

Actually it's not that bad if you stay away from the mountains and turn toward the water immediately if you have to go around. I've gone in there a few times with my wife (when we were dating). She was only a little scared!

Understood but the airstrip itself looks daunting. As he said coming in it looks like you're gonna hit the berm at the end of the runway and just pull at the last minute. And the roller-coaster strip itself. Woo-hee!
