    LUKLA, NEPAL - Take off Landing

    Thanks Mark. "Damm fine bit of machinery" (Capt. Trubshaw). I just flew a circuit at Buscombe Downs. I did begin ny approach too close to the runway, but got out of it and got the plane on the deck without bending it. I will try Lukla after I can handle the plane better. I'm impressed with...

    LUKLA, NEPAL - Take off Landing

    Miggers, Glad you enjoyed that. Seems Rick Piper's HS 780 Andover a bit large. It is one plane I have not got. What site can I get it and is it for Fs9?

    LUKLA, NEPAL - Take off Landing

    Alitude: 9,200 ft. Runway Length 1,700ft. Twin Otter the best plane. On touch down - full reverse thrust Impossible to line up the runway for landing -- obvious in my attempt. I did get down in one piece, then resumed breathing
