Mountain Surfing and a tricky approach.

Day 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
