This is an incredible DVD.....The filming is magnificent....An aerial version of National Geographic while being in a great aircraft...The Bae 146...a four engined aircraft that suits this airline well...just look at the terrain... this aircraft...what it has to manuever in and around and over...absolutely great...and growing up in Delhi during the late 50's...it was great to see the old "PALAM' Airport once again...A job well done...Thx Just Planes.

Fantastic! This is one exciting DVD. The take-offs and landings at Paro are awesome and very demanding of the pilots and the Himalaya mountain scenery really adds to the excitement. What makes this program particularly interesting is the insight into a country that few visitors are privileged to visit. This is a must-have DVD with the usual excellent filming from the Just Planes crew.
