Used to be known as the Kai Tak heart attack until the plane was safely on the ground.

The pilots had to aim for a chequer board marker on a nearby hill (called chequerboard hill)and then hoy a hand brake turn in to get a back skidder to land the plane.

Mind it was only the 6th most dangerous airport in the world.

Nowt to it - it’s nee Lukla!

I have been to Lukla also Jeffers,and Paro which supposedly is equally as risky,but flying into Kai tak was always going home,great place,good memories.
