Yes! I know that one. It is in the Vercors in France. Very funny to land a plane on it.

Or if it is not in France, there is a very similar one named “Le Mont Aiguille”

@BostonJeremy77 Thanks for that link on Locher. To me the taxiing looks scarier than the approach!

Whoa.

That’s one hell of a place for an air strip.

Yes. Take a look at the video below and you will know what it takes…

Sure is. You have to approach it towards the incline so the gravity helps you come to a stop quick.

The first Piper Cub landed here in 1955 - less than half a century after aviation was introduced and the airplanes were only VFR.
