That's it - it's actually a new runway on the site of an old military/research/civil base - they test sea planes at Gelendzhik and there are several marine research institutes there Quite a nice spot but the beaches are very stony and clayey Main problem is that taking off or landing to/from the North you have an 2500 ft mountain 5 miles away....... dead ahead.....

Hence the normal arrival/departure to/from the South - I think the missed approach is a bit scary - max left or right hand turn INSTANTLY

There's a daily flight from Moscow and a lot of holiday flights from Siberia and N Russia
