Interesting Airport
Such a short runway.

Interesting approach. Fly down the little fjord and then climb to land. Optical illusion that the runway is short since there is a jump mid fields.

Exciting airport to land at
The runway ends at a cliff which creates a little excitement at the end of a flight.
