At Barra they put flags up to warn you when the flights coming in… Check out the powerkiting if you’re there!

… ok there is a beautiful beach on Barra island, but I don’t think there is so much people going to sunbathe here
Planes can easy operate !

Strange…Google Maps’ satellite maps must be out today or something, as I’m getting the ‘we’re sorry’ message on all of the links today. Bah…I hope they get it working again soon.

it has a very basic “airport” if you want to call it that. there are only 6 permanent residents on the island.

my point is … planes come in and out of sable all the time. always have to land on the beach. I thought that was the entire point to the post — airports on the beach.

long story short – they land on the sand there, but do they have an air traffic controller? I have no idea. If they do, its obviously nothing extravagant.

And here are some pictures on airliners.net, although some of 'em are from Puerto Rico, not Scotland.
