Buddha Air

Wah, sounds like some meditation flight … Actually, far from it. Its one of those small airlines operating in Nepal. I happen to stumble across them when visiting this beautiful country. It’s a small plane and has 19 seats. From outside, it looks cute but its actually quite cramped inside. I was flying for an Everest view and was the luckiest group because the weather was good enough for us to see the peak. As you know with all propeller planes, the cornering and ascend/descend seems a bit chia lat. Nearly puked in the plane so had to sit still after running around the plane like an idiot snapping Everest for 15 minutes. Overall, interesting plane. Next off, it’s a helicopter experience. Manage to get a free helicopter ride while staying in Peninsula Hong Kong. It’s definitely an experience because the view from top is simply magnificent. Even though in a helicopter, I’ve this feeling that I’m a puppet and there are strings pulling me from the top. Strange feeling. To top off all my flying experience, recently the weather wasn’t that ideal and I was in a flight where I can see lightning on both sides of the plane. Scare shitless !!! Even the stewardess was holding on her seat and the moment I saw that, I said, “Oh! No!!!”. Ok, at least safe and sound still. Praise the God and the weather-proof planes !!! Okay, okay, thank you pilot.
