Nepalese man Bote Rai, 106, is pictured in his window seat of a Yeti Airlines aircraft after flying for the first time during his arrival at the Kathmandu airport on August 20, 2013. Airline officials said they sponsored Rai’s flight after reading in a local Nepali newspaper about his wish to fly on an aircraft. Rai, who has hearing problems and lives with his 75-year-old niece in remote Dhankuta district in eastern Nepal, will spend a day in Kathmandu and visit the Pahsupatinath Temple before flying out to Biratnagar, the nearest airport from his home.
