Nice annotations xD
is this a big tourist jump off?
estos tios si que se ganan el sueldo!!!, hay que poner unos colchones en la cabecera!
very nice video man and of course there’s no GO AROUND in lukla…….i love my nepal..
Those pilots are crazy as hell! The first departing plane should have at least waited for the landing one to come to a complete stop before taxiing in front of it.
amazing!
good!
Nice solution
Take-off with brake release!
Nice video, thanks for sharing
They are good!!!
crazzy man!!!!!!!
@Zdogs22 Yes, that would be more correct … from what I understand about Lukla even a “go around” would be a tricky thing to pull off without becoming a greasy spot on a mountainside .. I know that I would not want to be in a situation that required any dramatic deviations from a normal approach and landing … I am basically a fair weather pilot so I am doing a lot of assuming.
@hammerogod The proper terminology is then no “touch and goes” not no “go arounds” A go around is when your on final approach and abort the landing. What your saying is that there are no touch and goes.
@Zdogs22 I don’t think you are getting it … once you are wheels-down at Lukla you are comittted to a full stop landing .. Runway 24 is one way street with mountains backing it … if you will watch some of the other Lukla vids and check the Wiki articel you will see the error in your contention.
They don’t release the brakes until the power is sitting at 100% with full pitch.
also where’s air traffic control!?
compare to JFK airport and any other airport in north america, it’s not that busy
do nathan drake use this airport to come in nepal to find the shintamani stone?
nice video man !
@ubuibiok been there done that ‘nuf said
@Zdogs22 bro have u been up there if u haven’t then listen “no go around ” seriously no go around ” from nepal
this airport true dangerous!O,o
wow…thanks for postin this..it made my day….excellent and very funny……my favorite video …thanks…
“no go-arounds” Sorry but thats bullshit. There is no airport where your physically unable to do a go around. Unless ofcourse your runway backs up to a mountain, but I dont think most do
Wow, great video!!
