That landing was a piece of cake. When I was training for my PP license, I had an instructor tell me that flying would be hours and hours of boredom mixed with moments of sheer terror.

gjl...piece of cake? Had I been on that flight, I woulda filled my pants with every turn on that approach. I would have liked to have seen a video, from above, of that plane weaving its way through those mountains. Like the Pilot said, "It's going to get interesting now."

How old are you Heminstein? Its Tibet! The people of Tibet have been slaughtered and held hostage by the Chinese and the Chinese changed the name to Bhutan to take away their identity.

lasomeday, can you read? If so, did you even bother to read the link you posted? If not, you might check out this map (in your link) that shows Bhutan as a separate country bordering Tibet. Or the CIA World Factbook or Google - any will show you that Bhutan is a country separate from Tibet and that Tibet remains a disputed region within China itself.

Edit: Adding a link to the map I referenced (http://www.freetibet.org/about/introduction-to-tibet)
