Thimpu Airport
December 25, 2017
Bhutan
It is tucked in between the Himalayan Mountains and there is no easy entrance to the runway. So the pilot has to hover around the airport and descend in a whirl until the speed is such that the pilot can handle a quick, short drop down. I probably would not have thought anything about it but someone brought this fact to my attention about a week prior to my departure. There are youtube videos that show how dangerous this feat is. So I sat tensely in my window seat and watched in fear and admiration.
