Musketeer Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 My "short-hops" journey from Sydney to London continues. I had a pretty interesting flight from Bangladesh into Bhutan. A REALLY challenging approach that involved a sharp descent and flyover of the airport before a very sharp u-turn, then a low altitude s-bend to line up with runway 15. I highly recommend trying it! After a few barren airports around Asia, I opted to find an add-on for Paro Airport in Bhutan, which made the landing a little bit more screenshot worthy Anyway here are some screenshots from the flight which was from VGSY (Sylhet, Bangaldesh) to VQPR (Paro, Bhutan). This is with Global & Vector plus FS Global 2010 mesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper31 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Quite an adventurous set over regions less traveled on here. Some nice shots and the last few are especially nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Posted April 21, 2018 Author Share Posted April 21, 2018 Thanks. Yeah - trying to fly in some less traveled areas this year after spending so much time on the east coast of AU and the west coast of NA the last couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Great shots of a very interesting region. Not many of us will ever travel there in RL, so it is well worth simming! Plus a slightly scary approach... what a challenge this must be in a jetliner?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musketeer Posted April 22, 2018 Author Share Posted April 22, 2018 Thanks all. They do actually land commercial jets at this airport, although if you can believe the Daily Mail only eight pilots are licenced to do so! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2079836/The-Himalayan-airport-dangerous-pilots-qualified-land-there.html I reckon that's like a red rag to a flight simmer - as soon as I saw that I knew I had to give it a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
