49th X-Plane.org fly-in (Nepal)

-return to picture archive-

 

My only successful landing this time around was, surprisingly enough, in the worst weather conditions during the entire fly-in! I flew an Emirates 777 from Dubai to Kathmandu, and somehow managed to make it down despite the fact that the visibility was nearly zero... I was less lucky on my attempt to reach Mt. Everest in a Chinook helicopter, and managed to crash into a mountain enroute. I then had a couple of simulated dogfights around VNKT with Meesta Pink... to see the results click below :)
