Photographer’s remark
Turning final rwy 35 at Quito's Mariscal Sucre International Airport. Notice how the runway is not level throughout its entire length. The other side of the runway (Rwy 17) is even more dangerous because the geography around it is such that it creates of a lot of wind shear on short final. This airport is one of the most demanding around the globe for commercial flights, it's easy to understand why...
