Same (pronounched SAH-may) is nestled on the south side of the main mountain range. Although you can land in both directions, take-offs are restricted to the south only due to high terrain all around. I haven't flown there very much, but in the last couple of weeks we had two medevacs there, so I managed to grab some pictures.

Altitude: 1100 ft
