Jungle Airstrip

The runway ran uphill in order to slow the aircraft down. At the end there is a steep cliff - to ensure that one does indeed stop!

that is an awesome site and cool place to practice or better be good for landing here. How long is the strip?

I'm almost surprised they don't have vines strung across the strip to slow the planes down, like on aircraft carriers.
