Trace - I sat watching the starboard wing - still banked over when the runway appeared below - I was convinced that if the pilot didn't straighten up soon the first thing down would have been the starboard wing tip.

As it touched down (wheels thankfully first) I looked out of the port side - you see a sheer cliff face rising up, maybe 100 / 150 yards off the port wing tip - heavens knows what that does to up-draughts!

Brilliant picture Chipping.

Trace, honestly you would love it, it is quite an experience. First time one does not really know the layout of the runway, it was only when I saw the model in the airport at Funchal. Next visit, paid particular attention to the approach, which flying past the airport which you can see the stilted runway, which gets the old chin wagging going by some. Then the sharp right turn, leveling off with the mountains to the left, and the runway ahead.

On taking off, the aircraft as I said goes down the runway to the pan and turns prior to setting off.

You would love it.

As anyone ever been to Yum-tum airport in Gambia.

Yeia mas, Chris.

The look of the runway does look a bit hairy but I have never heard of any problems. Take a trip to Kanoni when you get there and have a look, it's quite amazing watching planes land and take off there. For a really mad experience take a walk on the Kaiser bridge when planes come in. Did this with my dad when i was about 12. Almost soiled my pants!!!

Hi Chris,

Banjul airport in the Gambia was enough for me, I swear I could see eyes peeping through the long grass, a short and bumpy runway.

Corfu airport, even after 21 years still makes my tummy wobble....

And here's a shot from the other end of the runway, giving you an idea of how close to the road you are, and the jet blast provention from the police.
