A creative YT video

YouTube provides an endless variety of videos including my favorites: train driver cab views of train journeys across Europe, many in the UK, Germany and Switzerland and sometimes in 4K (especially with the Swiss videos); and airplane flight deck views of takeoffs and landings around the world many with multiple GoPros mounted around the flight deck.  After watching so many aircraft videos over the years, the following one of a 40 minutes flight between Kathmandu and Paru, Bhutan has raised the production bar for me.  It not only involves one of the most hazardous jet airliner landings in the world (in an A319) but intermingles the flight deck views with the passenger experience featuring the presenter.  And the flight passes by Mount Everest.

Only about 15 pilots are licensed to land at Paru, and the chief pilot of Bhutan Airlines does an amazing commentary of the flight from takeoff to landing.  On approach to Paru at just above 1,000 ft (the runway is not even yet in sight), the captain points out the local monasteries (a bit like in ‘Romancing the Stone’ where Juan nonchalantly points out where his brother was born during a car chase sequence when they are being chased by machinegun shooting baddies).

This YT video is exceptional IMO. Sorry if it is too off topic.

WARNING: If you are nervous about flying, this is likely not a video to watch.

If you want to jump to the approach and landing sequence, jump to around 08:30.
