Speaking of which, I got a new deck of Top Trumps when travelling around Italy/France last year with family, the new designs are so crap, focused on the description & border imagery & the stats are in the tiniest font like they are just picture cards & not a game, real disappointment. Same card, new generation;

Paro approach is so complicated and challenging, only eight pilots are certified to land there. Here is Bhutans first female captain flying it.
