Somewhere different

Post by adysmith »

I decided I wanted to try to land at Paro (Bhutan) but we don't have any routes there.

Closest reasonable destination was Calcutta (whoops Kolkatta) with a Super VC10, which would also have the climb performance to get out of there again.

So I flew out with the intention of diverting to Paro (ICAO VQPR), RNAV transition to visual approach through assorted mountain valleys.

Nice airport, SHORT runway, very steep climb out, happy pilot :)

Old pilots never die, they just run out of runway.
