A bit like the runway in the Bond film, where 007 jumps off the cliff in the opening sequence and freefalls onto the aeroplane, gets inside and takes control!

It looks more like a village main street than a runway. And could it also be the world’s first purpose built runway for hang gliders ? (lol)

Not only is the runway a bit short for a 747, the wake turbulence it would produce would knock the houses over! Also, a weee bit of damage may be done to a 747’s wings there!
