Taking off might be more the problem than landing at the most dangerous airport in the world. No, it no located in Fresno, California.

 One of my sons did some medical research on the Himalayans,  at the 18,000 foot mark of Mt. Everest.  The video is so much better on “full screen.” 


There is a small airport in the Himalayan mountains with a 6,500-foot runway and picturesque surroundings. When flying into Paro Airport in Bhutan passengers may be staring in terrified awe of the 18,000-foot mountainous peaks or have their eyes squeezed tightly shut as the pilot weaves through the range.

But only eight pilots are qualified to fly into Paro. And up until earlier this year, only one airline serviced the airport. The Daily Mail reports that take off and landing can only take place in daylight hours
