Man it was well... probably scared the passengers so much they'll never fly again

Isn't it evident?? Boeing are my favourite aircraft.

P.S. that's is my real birthday but I wish to keep my real age secret to keep you all pondering.

It's got to be MHTG - Toncontín International Airport

2025m runway + 3000ft elevation + terrain = tricky approach

should be a good comparison to queenstown actually
