Wellington in NZ can be hairy due to the severe cross winds.

Once landed there in 110km/h gusts. Not a fun approach.

I thought that ATR-72 (or equiv!) had that much airspeed and so little ground speed that they were just going to hover and let the passengers out!

The 200 foot long airstrip

Those bush pilots must have balls the size of a bull elephant. Nice little plane that gets the job done.

Not a lot of room for a mistake
