[[File:The Paro Challenge route.png|thumb|The route to follow in the maze of valleys between Hashimara Air Base (VE44) and Paro airport (VQPR). Created using OpenStreetMap and the Open Topo layer.]] | |||
The challenge consists in flying as fast and as low as possible from Hashimara (VE44) to Paro (VQPR) while navigating a maze of valleys, steep climbs and sharp turns with only one VOR-DME beacon to guide you (it sits on a mountaintop south of Paro airport). You cannot fly on instruments; this is a 100% visual flight. | The challenge consists in flying as fast and as low as possible from Hashimara (VE44) to Paro (VQPR) while navigating a maze of valleys, steep climbs and sharp turns with only one VOR-DME beacon to guide you (it sits on a mountaintop south of Paro airport).
