Pretty nifty, I'd never heard of that place. Also looks like it's nestled deep in a valley in the alps, that has to present its own challenges for takeoffs and landings I'd think?

One thing that kind of caught my attention: why do you think this is painted on there?

AXALP is on my bucket list. Only year I went it was snowed out.

Gibraltar also has at least one road that crosses the runway.

Not no more. They tunneled under it. It opened 3 weeks ago.

Funny I was in Gibraltar three weeks ago and must have been the last day or so…had a view of the crossing and you always knew when an airplane was arriving with the flashing lights coming on. Never knew…

When they intercept another airplane the intercepted pilot can read what he needs to do

No doubt the F/A-18s of the Swiss Marine Corps say, "Eat **** and Die."

I’ve walked across that space before. Couple of times, in fact.
