Crash at Lukla

Post by speedbird591 »

We've had discussions on here before about how difficult it is to land at Lukla - I've never managed it successfully in Flight Simulator. Sadly, a twin otter has crashed with tragic consequences, underlining how difficult conditions are so high in the Himalayas.

Very sad news, condolences to all at Yeti.

We've just had some J41 work off them, very nice people.
