January 20, 20233 yr Decided to take the PC12 out and up to height, 28,000 in this instance and where else but some nice high mountainous area like the top of the world. Approaching VNLK after having dropped height and still dropping speed. I's a tiny little landing strip, no go around here. And on the ground (with a thump - need more practice...). Nice panoramic shot coming into the parking area. There's always cats.. or dogs 🙂 Hard to believe the original airport as compared to that of today (pic taken in 1977 - credit Cliff Bancroft). And another from 1964 (credit Jim Fisher). In the air again, this time heading towards Everest. Everest It's really like a wasteland - a desert of cold. Heading over the other side dropping height for VNPL Phaplu airport. Looking for the airport, the GTN750 failed somewhere after Everest. It's software froze and I had to rely on the secondary GNS530 GPS to find the airport. and on the ground @ VNPL Phaplu, another "thumping" landing... Interesting airport, I suppose they are all pretty much the same style in the area. That's all folks.

January 20, 20233 yr Nice shots of a very demanding flight. Those historic photos are pretty surprising. So much has changed. Edited January 20, 20233 yr by John F
January 21, 20233 yr Outstanding shots but I’ve always wondered what the heck they were thinking. You can barely get a darned jet pack in there. Jack Sawyer

January 25, 20233 yr Author Thanks folks, I enjoyed flying in and out of these Nepal airports so much I decided to get back into the Aerosoft Twotter. Hadn't really flown since FSX days but after a tuneup of bug fixing and adding an icing gauge and matched lua scripting to iceup the control surfaces and also account for freezing rain, it's quite the different aircraft compared to the memory of FSX days and ideal for these STOL Nepal airports.
