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 ![Wink](https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies/wink2.gif)

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
