Watch as this Cessna Citation departs from the craziest airport in the world, high up in the Alps at Courcheval, France. At 6,588 feet of elevation, the runway is only 1,762 feet long, and if you’re landing, there are no go-arounds. You get one shot. Two angles of the takeoff are below.

My only experience with this airfield was in Microsoft Flight Simulator, but it always struck me as an interesting one to fly in to and out of, especially if you have a STOL aircraft, like the CASA.

That pilot has to be saying to himself, ‘Pratt & Whitney don’t fail me now!’
