February 24, 20197 yr Ortho4XP photoscenery L16 Khamsin B-25 The venerable B-25 Mitchell once made it in 1942 from an aircraft carrier, so I thought it would also be capable to take off from Lukla. Great! Now we have to make it to 30,000 feet, although its service ceiling is only 24,200 feet At 19,000 feet We have finally reached 30,000 feet with Mt. Everest dead ahead and Mt. Makalu in the distance The smaller peak between Everest and Makalu is the Lhotse The mountain range in the distance is already Tibet Will I return to Lukla? No, like Col. Doolittle and his raiders I plan to land in China In my case it will be a small airport in Tibet, which lies at a height of 28,000 feet Thanks for viewing Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds My specs: AMD Radeon RX6700XT, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB RAM, 34" monitor, screen resolution: 2560x1080
February 24, 20197 yr Just great - the idea as well as the pictures. Which one is the Tibetan Airport that you used to land? Harald Geyer Gründer der Messerschmitt Freunde Dresden v. V.
February 24, 20197 yr Great (guided) tour of this awe-inspiring region - with help of photoscenery! I think it's much easier to (realistically) identify the peaks, in the SIM, from photoscenery than otherwise... The close-up shot of the B-25 looks lovely!
February 25, 20197 yr Author Many thanks for your kind comments 14 hours ago, HaraldG said: Which one is the Tibetan Airport that you used to land? Good question, Harald. Problem is, I can't remember as I did this flight over a week ago. I only remember it was a small military airstrip, probably not even officially listed as airport Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds My specs: AMD Radeon RX6700XT, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB RAM, 34" monitor, screen resolution: 2560x1080
February 25, 20197 yr Nice tour of the region. Could you be so kind as to go back to the 28,000' Tibetan airfield & get the coordinates? Would like to take the Tiger Moth up there.😄 T45
