11/4/23 V1.0
Improvement mod to the dramatic mountain top Kangel Danda Airport, Namche Bazaar region, Nepal
The mod removes some small trees on the threshold, corrects the vegetation and buildings, and adds 2 small GA parking spots and some other scenery objects.
The airport used to see regular serviced flights from Kathmandu by Tara Air DHC-6 Twin Otters, but since at least 2017 it has been non-operational and reports from January 2023 indicate that the strip is being used for grazing livestock! A recent test-landing by a Twin Otter suggests there are plans to return it to operation.

This is my first attempt to edit a base scenery airport so there might be small glitches. Also, not yet figured out how to remove the pushback cart and worker - next version!
Dependencies: You will need the sdr-himalaya-pack mod as well as daves3dpeople, sdr-pack, mikeaat-assetpack and totof-aircraft-library

Your coordinates point to the Gulf of Mexico. Thanks for the nifty little airport. I'm looking forward to flying into it.
