Gorgeous view, it's never occurred to me to try actually (well, in a sim anyway) landing at that airport. The mechanics of landing on such a screwball runway, with a missed-approach procedure of "make a very impressive fireball"... I'm gonna try it on something a little slower at first!

That is Lukla - access to the Mount Everest climbers' base camp. Great fun to fly in and out of at about 10,000 feet.

Looks like I can't fly my F-22 into there. I need at least 3,000 feet of runway. And it looks like I need to update this airport as by default in FSX it has no parking.

 

I'm on another trip around the world, and I think when I get to Nepal I'll fly into Katmandu and then from there take a King Air over there or something. Looks like VNLK is about 20NM from Everest.
