$\begingroup$ @Richard Not a touch and go, but missed approach below tree and roof top level through the village. Indeed a whole new terror. $\endgroup$– DeltaLima ♦Oct 10, 2018 at 14:23

The airport is Lukla - Tenzing-Hillary in Nepal.
The aircraft is a Eurocopter AS350 Écureuil helicopter. I found a picture of one that has the same panel layout.

5$\begingroup$ Other than "tiny airstrip in a mountainous region of Asia" I had absolutely no reason to think "Lukla", yet that's what came to mind. Guess I was right. Time to quit for the day!! $\endgroup$– FreeManOct 5, 2018 at 13:41

12$\begingroup$ For the uninitiated: Lukla is often seen as the gateway to Sagarmatha/Mount Everest and features an unconventional runway which slopes noticeably down with the slope that it's on, in addition to having a variable slope. $\endgroup$– 0xddOct 5, 2018 at 14:18

$\begingroup$ @Jules: Oh, and it's also impossible to go around, because of the mountain in the way. $\endgroup$– VikkiJan 28, 2019 at 4:13
