Yes. They made a movie about the exploits in this area that were critical to WWII. Could have been a turning point for the worst.
Also associated with a snow sport.

That's it!
Telemark is as ski technique where you use a free-heel binding and fully bend a knee to turn. English reference was to the first slalom races; they were done by Brits on Holiday in the Alps.

With a runway just a squeak over 7,000 feet this airports name, if you were to use the word descriptively to a Greek, would probably earn you a smack in the mouth from him !!
Very popular with visitors from a nearby country who require medical care.

Malacca ? Yup, that's the one.
For those who don't know it, Malacca is the Greek word for "wanker" ....... hence the smack in the mouth reference !!!!
Over to you.

Hmmm lets see...
I am located on an Island and my sole runway is just over 6200 feet long.
I am quite popular in the summer months, however in the winter i am only serviced by 2 local airlines, one of which is the name of the sea i'm located at.

There aren't that many airlines named after a sea. From there it was just a case of searching the Greek Islands.
Have another go please. It's time we had some fresh blood here.

There is little that is too difficult for Brian.
Some even say that he keeps folded an Icarus like set of wings neath' his oil-skin coat when he travels or that he is the bar sinister offspring of Amelia Earhart.

I have 3 parallel runways all of different lengths.
In 2009 i was the 4th busiest airport in the country of where i'm located.
Think similar to "Money City".

I want to say Denver's Stapleton since they had parallel runways and the "D" on much currency would qualify it as "money city" since it had a mint for coins. But it's been closed now for how long? Sigh, it was also my first flight in a real airplane, a Boeing 707.

Nope..wrong country. Think a lot further South West from the USA.
There is a major international airport not far from this airport.
Home to many executive jets and helicopters.
The aviation museum located here opened in 1994.
