Courchevel prang yesterday
I hope the pilot was authorised to land at Courchevel, and has an understanding insurance company....
Apparently the pilot was a bit high, and a bit fast. Fortunately he had the good sense not to try a go around, and nobody was hurt.

Wow - I was in Courchevel at the time... and didn't know anything about it.
If you think this strip is small, take a look at Meribel, just over the mountain!
I wouldn't fancy either in anything bigger than a 152!

Courchevel's quite big! They used to have scheduled services in a Dash 7 (4-engined turboprop). The runway's about 500m long, but with the slope it is the equivalent of well over 1000m.
But it's not very forgiving if you get your approach wrong....
