We distracted ourselves by admiring the incredible views out of the window.
In the distance were beautiful, snowy, Himalayan peaks. Far closer, at times frighteningly close, was the ground below us. Although we were flying quite high, the ground below us was so mountainous that it wasn't far below us. We were quite amazed to see that steep slopes didn't deter house building and farming.
One thing that reassured us no end, was the fact that the co-pilot was relaxed enough about the whole flight to spend some of it filming.
We weren't surprised by this as it wasn't exactly an ordinary flight. When the camera turned on the passengers, we made sure we could be seen and gave cheery smiles and waves.
It wasn't a long flight and after about half an hour we could see the Lukla airstrip ahead.
Rather than try and describe the landing, we'll show you it, using the promised video clip. Obviously it isn't our plane, but one very like it. Be sure to have the sound turned up on your PC for the full effect, as it sounds more dramatic than it looks.
Enjoy, and thanks Agni Air for a safe flight!
Lots of love George & Yorkie xxx

Thank you, but the sound effects made me go cold!
We feel we've been there and done it with you too now! That man standing at the fence thing at the end of the runway was obviously confident the pilot would stop the plane in time!
