X-wind testing.

IF:
You believe Iceland to be in Europe (they are Schengen)
The volcanoes will permit
60 metre wide runways are of benefit
The weather is "Quattro Stagione" as in the pizzas, viz 4 seasons in 1 day!
Mr Boeing isn't there already playing with their latest for this very purpose
2 runways at right angles to each other, 3,000m long helps you to "manufacture" your own x-wind
Very co-operative ATC who allow the regular visitors and based aircrew to choose the runway best suited, if swept of snow and ash
Then Keflavik is perfect, swot up on MNPS procedures so you can find it properly, though it's mostly radar to radar over the wet bits.
P S The beer is expensive!!!???
