Landing at Gibraltar is challenging for military aircraft, because flying through Spanish airspace is not allowed. This makes for a very close-in base leg for RWY 09, and the subsequent tight turn to final. Prior bush experience helps. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
