Larger view of Ventimiglia - The mountains meet the sea. Ventimiglia in the foreground, the Alps in the backround.
The takeoff area is to the left of the river just before it meets the sea, between the river and a park. The wind has to be perfect, that is, a sea breeze, perpendicular to the takeoff area. The takeoff finishes over the sea, quite spectacular. Any other wind direction makes this takeoff impossible. Today was the perfect day.
