Interesting airports to fly to

There is a pilot (a real pilot who flies 747’s, IRL), who has a YouTube channel, “74 gear”, (which I highly recommend), where he regularly debunks a lot of that stuff.

When you look at a lot of that stuff in the cold light of reason (and aviation fact), it’s 99% exaggeration and trolling for clicks.

However!

A lot of them look interesting.

He does a series called “Viral Debrief” where he takes various things that are forwarded to him and critiques them online.

There’s one airport somewhere, (Mediterranean? Caribbean?), that has a relatively steep downward slope, ending in a beach.  There are a lot of videos showing people “getting their planes washed” :wink:  Especially if the pilot doesn’t take the downward slope into account, lands long, and then slams on the brakes last minute.

That airport would be a real challenge!
