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.
