Just before landing, the plane drops several hundred feet, Then it takes a sharp U turn and then suddenly touches down at strange angle. Cabin is full of the sound of air and ground brakes as the plane stops. I thank the God and the seat belts, that kept me from smashing into the seats in front. Plane has finally come to a halt and It is all over.
This was not a crash landing. It was just another ordinary Boeing 757 landing at ToncontÃn International Airport in Honduras.
I have flown well over the country and beyond. I don’t know about any other airport that can compare to Runway 02 at ToncontÃn International. Its not an airport, It is like a hurdle race. Every possible danger that you can associated with a landing strip is available. Take a good look at following pictures of Runway 02 of TIA, Honduras.

The charms of a Private Island is universal. They are exuberantly expensive to buy and very few can afford to rent them. Private Islands in tropical settings are in high demand. These Islands usually cover dozens of acres and are beyond the reach of ordinary folks. Scale down those Islands and you get very affordable Private Islands; Miniature Islands or tiny little islands with enough space for one to two bedroom homes and a backyard to grill some fish.
Above is one of Islands located in Lake Cocibolca. It is also known as Las Isletas, Nicaragua. It is one of 360+ very small islands, formed by volcanic activity. Most of them are nothing more than a Rock.
