hi calvin,
If you look carefully you will see the Twin Otter on finals to this extraordinary airport. The runway is a 1700ft strip running 12% uphill, on the edge of a deep ravine and ending at a sheer mountain wall. All landings are uphill (06), all take-offs downhill (24). Only pilots with at least 7 years' experience in are allowed to fly there .
fyi this is lukla airport in nepal.
cheers,
uncle chris:)
