TheBlaze:
There is a small airport in the Himalayan mountains with a 6,500-foot runway and picturesque surroundings. When flying into Paro Airport in Bhutan passengers may be staring in terrified awe of the 18,000-foot mountainous peaks or have their eyes squeezed tightly shut as the pilot weaves through the range.
But only eight pilots are qualified to fly into Paro. And up until earlier this year, only one airline serviced the airport. The Daily Mail reports that take off and landing can only take place in daylight hours:
Up until July, the Daily Mail reports, Druk Air was the only airline flying into the airport, which Boeing has said is “one of the world’s most difficult for takeoffs and landings.” Buddha Air also serves the facility, which takes in about 30,000 people each year.
In 2009, the airport was named by Travel Leisure the number 1 most dangerous airport in the world. Also making the list were the International Airport of Princess Juliana, St.Martin, Reagan National Airport, Washington DC, and Airport of Gibraltar.

Here's another white knuckle plane landing! American Airlines Boeing 757, crazy landing in Honduras! There are some good, dedicated and talented pilots flying those machines!
Sometimes in your life, you may seem to have it under control, and then things fall apart into a thousand pieces. It's like trying to solve an iPad 2 puzzle where the rules and the pieces that are supposed to fit together, keep changing!
Let me give you a word of advice, from experience! You cannot make it work. Only Jesus can fit the pieces of your life together perfectly. It doesn't mean things will always be euphoric, but it does mean that you have Someone who cares, to turn to. Someone who CAN do something about your problems is willing to take over, and guide you in the right direction. Jesus Christ is committed to getting you safely to your destination, which is going to heaven with Him, when He comes in the clouds! No airplane necessary! This New Year, let Jesus take control of your heart and life!
God's text message, Philippians 1:6, "There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that the God who started this great work in you would keep at it and bring it to a flourishing finish on the very day Christ Jesus appears." John 14:1-3, "Don't let this throw you. You trust God, don't you? Trust me. There is plenty of room for you in my Father's home. If that weren't so, would I have told you that I'm on my way to get a room ready for you? And if I'm on my way to get your room ready, I'll come back and get you so you can live where I live."

But only eight pilots are qualified to fly into Paro. And up until earlier this year, only one airline serviced the airport. The Daily Mail reports that take off and landing can only take place in daylight hours:
The runway is just 6,500 feet long – one of the few in the world shorter than their elevation above sea level.Here’s a view from the cockpit of the landing:
Planes have to weave through the dozens of houses that are scattered across the mountainside – coming within feet of clipping the roofs.
Strong winds whip through the valleys, often resulting in severe turbulence. Passengers who have been on flights to the airport have described the landing as ‘terrifying’.
Up until July, the Daily Mail reports, Druk Air was the only airline flying into the airport, which Boeing has said is “one of the world’s most difficult for takeoffs and landings.” Buddha Air also serves the facility, which takes in about 30,000 people each year.
