bring more strong coffee pleeease
Hey Nuthin
There is actually still a lot of planning & flying lef to do through 2 valley systems to descend to 9,500'
12usgal above 10,000' & below 15,K' at around 75-80knots @ MCP is 30mins till the noise stops from Pangboche is an 8-9minute flight back to VNLK Lukla (11minutes in crap weather) so we land with ~ 8usgals = 20mins, the legal minimum reserve
Happy Happy @ Tyangboche Gompa

Good day VF,

Stay safe up in that rare and fine air,
many regards, love reading your almost daily posts,

That ed be the Buddhist prayer flags strung everywhere in the Solukhumbu which are great for local winds, except when they are strung across a diving gulley used for escaping heavy
