#1 Flight to Kathmandu, Nepal
Today, I flew to Kathmandu and back. The weather was a lot cloudy over the airport in Kathmandu. It was my training for this destination. Very tired, going to bed. Thanks.
#It is early morning here. I am back here to add few more stories.
Kathmandu is mostly a tourist attraction for the Himalaya and what it offers. I used to fly 3-5 flights a week in 2006-7 with Fokker 28. When the weather is good, Himalaya is seen from a long distance with its snow covered picks. We make announcements regarding Himalaya and tourist passengers take a better aerial look and pictures may be. After landing we get 1 hour time before return. I used to spend about 30 minutes in the airport. Sometimes, I went out of airport for a fresh air or most polluted (smoke a cigarette). The people are very friendly for foreigners and tourists from all over the world visit this destination. It brings a multi-cultural flavour to this small, hill top airport. The trekkers, climbers come with their gears and their adventurous appearance delights all. Regarding flying, it is one of the demanding flights for the pilots and as such needs a considerable experience in an aircraft and a specialized training. That’s what I did yesterday in Airbus 310.
I attempted a flight in one of those...Peshawar to Chitral.
The flight was aborted after twenty minutes, quite a roller
coaster ride.
