The hill in question was several miles south of the picture. Properly flown this, in my opinion, is a safe airport. Just fly the approach. Any approach, improperly flown, can end up in disaster. Any landing, disregarding tailwind, wet runway can be a disaster. How many landing accidents at TGU were not caused by pilot error. Probably none. You have to know what you are doing to land there. You don't have to be an ace, just do it right. TGU was my favorite because it was challenging, but safe. The people were great and the passengers always clapped when you came to a stop without killing anybody. Never happened in Miami.
