What was that other airport in that neighbourhood that we flew too in WTII before going to Lukla? Was it VLNK or something like that? It
had a nice descent as well. Remember all those screaming folks in the back of my 738. ""Watch your descent rate", Pull Up
Pull
UP..

yeah, my co-pilot was screaming, "We're gonna die!", GPWS yelling, "Pull up". I am glad that leg is behind me.

Taking off was a close one too.. On rwy24, full flaps, throttled up and didn't let go of the brakes until N1 was 100%... and I think I gave those
trees a trim on that slope.
