Great Stuff bob! What aircraft did you fly into PARO? you took 33 or 15? That is a true white or even purple knuckle IMO.

Took the A319 into Paro on runway 15.
However ... Since I have FTX Global Vector - there's a bit of an elevation problem at the airport. The runway is sunk too far into the earth, and then it kind of rises up to meet you. So if you have Vector, you should exclude it from the elevation corrections.... and test the airport out before you make the long flight.
Paro was probably one of my favorites on that accomplishment.
