I turn mine over out of habit just in case of spiders or scorpions.  If that bitch fell out, it'd get hulk  smashed/ Mexicana abuelita slammed with the shoe.

I'd like to bolt her thunder with my 10-hog.  But no warts.  I mean, it'd have to be my gun.  And no teeth.  Dammit!  I had something for this.........

Matt is ok to watch every so often but his whole "And now, let's shoot [insert object of the day] with an .50 cal incendiary tracer round" gets old.

 

 

Tracers mmmmmmmmm...

Bob and Mae come up from some little town
Way down by Lake Texoma where he coaches football
They were 2-A champions now for two years runnin'
But he says they won't be this year, no, they won't be this year
And he stopped off in Tushka at that Pop's Knife and Gun place
From some East bloc nation that no longer needs 'em
And a Desert Eagle, that's one great big ol' pistol
Bought a SKS rifle and a couple full cases
Of that steel-core ammo with the Berdan primers
I mean, 50-caliber made by bad-ass Hebrews
And some surplus tracers for that old B-A-R of Slayton's
Soon's it gets dark, we're gonna have us a time
We're gonna have us a time

The gator comes in it's own cooking bag already! 

 

Don't forget to stuff the gator with bath salts to make it a true / authentic Florida Turducken.

I couldn't make it through the whole thing.  Too stressful.

Not that big of a deal if you have moves like Neo or Jackie Chan.  I'm probably closer to Kung Fu Panda, though.

On site training, flying a fucking 737. HOLY SHIT. 

I think our resident pilot warned about flying non-US airlines. I don't imagine they are much better than this cargo airline.

Reading the comments, this seems to be standard procedure for this airport.

 
 

From having been there and flown into Paro and talked with pilots about it, there are a few things to note.

Paro is at ~7500ft, has a 7400ft runway, and 737s aren’t normally used - much less cargo 737s.

Put lightly, at its MTOW, that 737 would be short >2000 ft of clearing Paro’s runway.

Saw a few cargo aircraft (737s) land while I was there, and they always came in like this (don’t know about the phone though) - you just can’t hit the turn waypoints in something that heavy, so you make do.

Both Druk and Bhutan Airlines have to use A319-100s that actually have a few specific modifications to handle the landings and takeoffs.

The reason you don’t hear any alarms in most other videos is that it is part of the checklist for landing to turn them off they are active if you look at the control pack in all videos. This is because it is considered dangerously distracting to fly the approach with that many audible alarms going off - the full approach is over 30 minutes long (way longer than this video) and can only be flown under VFR.

Also: for those thinking it is specific turn points or radii, it isn’t. The approach is to follow the path of the river - exactly as is done in the video.

If they hang there more than 10-15 mins they might die anyway. Circulation is obstructed, all the blood will pool in your legs and your heart can't pump hard enough to circulate it.
