@aviatorscholars: Imagine looking out your window and seeing nothing but the sea beneath you then watching a passenger jet come in for landing. 😳 This is Gibraltar International Airport 🇬🇮 one of the most unusual airport approaches in the world. The runway sits on a narrow peninsula, with the Mediterranean Sea on one side and the Bay of Gibraltar on the other. That means aircraft approaching from the east come in right over the water before touching down on the runway. And then there is the mountain. Gibraltar’s famous Rock sits immediately beside the airport, making the approach even more visually dramatic. It may look terrifying from the ground, but for pilots operating into Gibraltar, this is a carefully managed and highly familiar approach. Still…Would you feel comfortable landing here? 👀✈️ #gibraltar #aviation #airports #aviationfacts #aviatorscholars
