April 3, 201313 yr A Jetstream will be flown over Everest to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the first such flight http://www.scotsman.com/the-scotsman/features/remembering-the-scots-who-flew-over-everest-some-80-years-ago-1-2855400 'This year, to mark the 80th anniversary of that first Everest flight, another group of Scots will fly over the summit. Going on the expedition is Hamilton’s grandson, Charles Douglas-Hamilton. They will use a Jetstream aircraft manufactured by the very company founded by McIntyre and Hamilton after their Everest adventure – Scottish Aviation Ltd. This firm was based at Prestwick Airport in Ayrshire, another creation of McIntyre and Hamilton.' I might just try to emulate them.
April 4, 201313 yr Thank you for bringing to attention that brilliant read from The Scotsman. Might just join you if I can get the hang of the PMDGJS4100. Rick Almeida
