Landing in Paros, Bhutan
The landing in Paro, Bhutan was very interesting.
There are only 8 rated pilots in the world.
Basically it first involves a descending U turn between mountains in a
valley, then zig zag through the valley, with a final turn into final.
It is worth watching the video below... You an also see that Boeing uses
this airport for its maximum specs.
