Re: Most difficult landing in the world - Bhutan?
As I recall we did this several years ago (4 or 5) but we didn't chicken out and make that easy approach to rwy 15 -- we did it the hard way, rwy 33. I did it in a 747 and that was definitely one of the most cheek-clutching mountainside-scraping approaches I've ever made. Screenshots used to be posted but they were not brought over from the old site.
Terence Wilson and I discuss that approach/landing here - http://www.aavirtual.com/forum/viewtopi ... ro#p123783
