May 1, 201610 yr Hi, I came over from Moscow, Arkhangelsk and Naryan-Mar to Khantiy-Mansiysk with my Tu-134 en-route for Siberia. I thought it would be nice to sit in another cockpit for some hours before flying further east with the Tupolev. Ural is not that far away, so I decided to make a trip to the mysterial Dyatlov Pass area with a trustworthy Il-14. You know what/where Dyatlov Pass is? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyatlov_Pass_incident This plane already had served with the Polar flying detachement of Aeroflot! Weather was not bad, and so we - two pilots, seven passengers - took of into the skies of the West-Siberian lowland. Crossing the confluence of Ob and Irtysh near Khantiy Mansiysk Then, after an hour, we came closer to the mountains, which hided their summits in clouds. The ascending terrain was still covered by snow. But suddenly, our plane got slower and lost altitude. I found no reason, weather was still comfortable (clouds around the mountain tops, but no strong winds or turbulences, no precipitation). Our plane was last seen very low heading towards the mountains by a hunter skiing in the woods... Harald Geyer Gründer der Messerschmitt Freunde Dresden v. V.
May 1, 201610 yr Great screenshots.... and possibly a flight sim mystery thriller story...

May 1, 201610 yr Wonderful screenshots....Khantly - Manslysk is a land of thousands of lakes like Minnesota....plane lost power because maybe gas in the atmosphere...when volcanoes on iceland erupt aviation in the UK is grounded. HLJAMES
May 1, 201610 yr Nice! I like Russian airports. I plan to take my NGX in S7 livery for a ride in the far east.
May 1, 201610 yr Author Thanks Mark, HLJames, Bar and Ed for your comments! There may be a couple of reasons for this new incident (less or more probably ones, I'd only exclude the Yeti). I rather believe in carburetor icing, obviously I didn't find the correct switch. Harald Geyer Gründer der Messerschmitt Freunde Dresden v. V.
May 2, 201610 yr Harald, you are in a class of your own... These are places - planes, even - I would not have come into contact with, anywhere else! May your carbs de-ice in good time...
May 2, 201610 yr Author Thanks WingZ and Erich! These are places - planes, even - I would not have come into contact with, anywhere else! At least I can recommend the USHH scenery. One of the freeware masterpieces which can be found at Avsimrus. You'll see more shots of them in the future - we all survived the new Dyatlov incident! Next destination: Podkamennaya Tunguska...

May 3, 201610 yr Podkamennaya Tunguska... Where? Flying with Harald is an education....love it. My FS Videos
May 3, 201610 yr edetroit - if you're serious then Tunguska is the site of a massive meteor strike, or alien nuke in the early 1900s. If you already knew, then my apologies.

May 3, 201610 yr Author ... while the Podkamennaya Tunguska I mentioned above is the site of a former emergency landing strip at the place where river Podkamennaya Tunguska - its upstream area was the site of the meteor strike - flows into river Yenisey.
