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
