Mountain Surfing and a tricky approach.
Posted: Thu Dec 08, 2011 9:53 pmDay 6 of the world tour and I've got to Everest.
I climbed to the summit and almost put the F-18 in to a stall then dived down the face about 20ft above it hoping I'd have enough speed to pull out at the bottom!
I Just scraped it pulled around 5 or 6g, was one hell of a ride!
On final to Paro, Bhutan was every bit as tricky as I had heard I certainly wouldn't chance it in anything bigger than a 737!
There's high peaks and the approach is straight down a valley, kinda reminds me of the famous Innsbruck approach.
Safely down at Paro
For the next stop I've decided to go a bit retro and take the 'bug down to Kai Tak.
Thanks for looking
