KATMANDU!!!!
I started out of Lukla with the new Waco Taperwing (had to figure out that I had to first lean the fuel flow to get enough power to take off!)
And it doesn't do to well at high altitudes, so I had to make a little decision about turning around...
Nice view!
Unfortunately, I ended up loosing altitude and having to bail out while helplessly watching my Waco crash into some mountains (ah well...no use crying over clipped wings...even if it was history lost)...
Sooooo....I decided to switch to something more practical (after a lot of walking, climbing, bumming rides with nomadic caravans, taking part in covert CIA operations to steal chutney recipes, creating a new flight...etc...):biglaugh:
Exploring Mt. Everest (this Turbo Commander sure likes to climb!)
Now that old Bob Seger song started in my head and I went!
A bit foggy...
The guy shows me where to stop!
Shutdown and secured!
