I love Sion LSGS and Samedan LSZS for the spectacular views. Great fun when there's no cloud around.

Chambery with the circle to rwy 36 is great during the day in good wx. At night... well, must be a straight in 18 for us.

The Sion missed app is one to make my brain snap but I like our escape procedure. Essentially, pootle down the valley, turn right, go to Geneva. (Other technical details but that's the gist of it).

Lon City always gets my attention. But I treat it more as a challenge than something to fear.

Gibralter's entertaining but haven't been there for a while.

Cairo's HECA amazing. Nothing overly challenging but flying over the pyramids is really outstanding.

I like the arrival into Split, Croatia. Glorious views over the water.

The visual arrival into Cairns YBCS from the west was a cracker.

Speaking of visuals, the visual circle to land at Cannes is fun. Usually have to battle a bit of a xw at times.

Sydney's YSSY pretty nice. Nothing challenging per se but the view's sensaish.

Rekjavic BIRK at midnight with a nasty cold front is a tonne of fun... not.
