“Lukla Airport: #1 Most Extreme Airport in the World according to the History Channel.....a flight you will not soon forget:”

I don’t know, at that time the airport in Phuplu was just a field carved out of the mountainside. We flew in a twin Otter and after we got through the pass it was full flaps and straight down. Damn those guys were good.

I couldn’t do that day in day out. That takes a special person to fly those flights.
