Post by: The Peepmaster on January 21, 2012, 11:10:22 AM: I've seen the plane video before. It's at Princess Juliana International Airport, St. Maarten, in the Carribean. The large planes literally do just skim the fence.

I've just arranged 2 holidays for clients, going to Bhutan (one via Kathmandu, Nepal, and the other via Delhi). I've subsequently learned that there are only 8 pilots in the world qualified to fly into Paro, due to it's mountains approach, etc.

Take a look also at this one in Nepal!

Sorry I didn't post this earlier - I'm just back from Accident & Emergency. I'll spare you the gory details, but basically this great big f****** rock fell on my foot.
