Funchal airport Madeira island,owned by Portugal, off the coast of Morroco. Need special training because of the xwind coming off of the mountain. Was lengthened by use of large piers.

Looks like you're not going to get any answers Jeff.
I would suggest Paro, Bhutan, but it's not the airport that's incredible, it's the approach.
I guess they have never been to Lukla (Tenzing-Hilary).
Wow. Just looked that one up and the photos are incredible. Will keep it in mind for future articles!
How could I forget. I am "collecting" them. Lukla may be a while because of the earthquake. There are many others as well. Courchevel for example!
