Yongphulla Domestic Airport - VQ10
High mountains, deep valleys, strong winds and sometimes the rain may appear as something like snow. You are at the bhutanese Yongphula Domestic Airport (VQ10) at a height of 2573 metres. After Paro, also this airport has been improved. Besides the Terminal and Apron, shared models and other little things have now been added. TerraSync has it all! Have a nice flight in the Kingdom of Bhutan.
