  • man , u need balls of steel to land here , i cant even dream of that , i tried twice in fsx , i failed and crashed ,

  • Nice landing.What a freaky airport to fly into. I would need serious therapy after that, or a couple of stiff drinks. Fantastic pilots

  • LOL! the trottles are up top!

  • serious and fantastic approach!!

  • yea same here im going in october !!!

  • Thanks :)

  • There isn't a missed once you've lined up to the runway, you can't outclimb the mountain. I guess in an emergency a wing over to the right would put you flying into the valley, but that would be a last ditch effort. Lukla is service by Twin Otters, Dornier 228's and various helicopters.
