The most challenging leg was from VNKT (Kathmandu, Nepal) to LQPR (Paro, Bhutan) bringing this big and fast bird down on a 6500ft rwy of 7333ft elevation nestled deep in a valley. Then I had to get out of there! Hee hee you flew Concorde on that route?! That should have caused a few avalanches, sent the wildlife scattering and scared the locals http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/grinser/...-smiley-028.gifThats some endurance, I admit I do not have the patience for a tour like that so props to you :)

Basically, I had to cross the PRO VOR at 12500ft all dirtied up and just off stall (150kts, gear down) then sink like a rock the next 6.7nm down to 7333ft (around 4000FPM). About 0.5nm out I had to do a mother of all flares to arrest my descent rate and then power up enough to keep the pitch at less than 12 degrees for touchdown. Admittedly, I did overrun the runway by about 100ft, for which I was duly punished by FSPax by sustaining undercarriage damage. A million dollars worth of repairs later, fresh underpants :-lol, and a minimum load of fuel and I was off again. This time, the departure was on rwy 15 with a full afterburner ascent up the same valley I had previously fell into to clear the mountain peaks at up to 14000ft and be on my way to the next airport.Oh, and did I mention that with AS6.5 weather, this all took place through cloud capped mountains that killed visibility for the initial approach. For a while there is was just me, the GPS terrain map, the rad alt and stick manouvres keeping me out of trouble on the descent!Edit - Just found the flight log from FSPax, so here is the evidence:Flight ID: SB185Pilot: Gary DunneCompany: Concorde ClassicAircraft: Concorde BANC HiVC NoCabinFlight Date: 11 August 2008Departure: 16h34 (10h49 GMT)Arrival: 17h36 (11h36 GMT)From: VNKT - Tribhuvan Intl - NepalTo: VQPR - Paro - BhutanNbr of Passengers: 67Report:Flight Distance: 216 Nm Landing Speed: 161.89 ktTime Airborne: 00h42:04 Landing Touchdown: -325.38 ft/mFlight Time (block): 00h46:38 Landing Pitch: 10.23
