I have heard about this airport and would like to experience it for myself one day. So I enjoyed seeing a picture of it, knowing it is the stop for Mount Everest climbers and known for being such a difficult airprt to land on

I would like to see pictures in connection with airports. Maybe not so much planes, but also buildings, other structures and people that make up the airport. Anything that might be a bit out of the ordinary or fun.

I was happy to see a picture of this airport, as I know it is always mentioned as a tricky airport to land on. I never get tired to find out what goes into on a airport like this, both by the pilots and ground personnel

This particular picture made me laugh, as all the luggage is stacked to the ceiling. But at the same time, I am curious in how they ended up transporting all that, as it doesn't seem to be very safe to transport it "as is".

What I found to be interesting with this picture is that not only is it a particular tricky airport to land on, but it has an uphill strip too. I did not know about this before I saw this picture and it is just another addition of the complexity of this particular airport

Living in Scotland myself, I must say I was happy to see a a picture of Barra Airport. I know it is considered to be one of the more trickier airports to land on due to it being a beach and the tides. I do like seeing people using airports like this one and I appreciate the work that the workers of this airport have to do, in order to make it possible for the planes to land.

I liked this picture just because I am sure the boy must have enjoyed coming into the cockpit and find out what all the different buttons, switches and what not does. Can imagine it must have been a memorable moment.
