Those are some scary landing areas, but the last line in this description (attempt???) would be enough to make me hire a donkey instead ... :shock: :shock: Steffan
Tenzing-Hillary airport, Lukla, Nepal
There is no room for pilot error during take-off and landing at this high-altitude airport that has recently been re-named in honour of the first men to conquer nearby Mount Everest. The dramatic approach involves navigating a tight route through the mighty mountains of the Himalayas and then, immediately on touchdown, slamming the propellers into reverse in an attempt to avoid crashing into the mountainous wall of rock at the end of the runway.
