Over Nepal: YS-11 Indian Airlines (FSX)

[peer01]

From Kathmandu to Pokhara over the lower parts of the Himalaya, with the big guys on the foggy background. The worn-out rusty YS-11 behaved very well and FSX gave me some great views. The landing at Pokhara was a challenging one!

We start halfway between Kathmandu and Pokhara:

Hey Ed, thank you very much for your kind comment :)

[davestan_ksan]

:cool::cool::eek::eek: What can I say?! AWESOME shots my great friend, I love this bird and where you're flying!! Did you do any climbing while you were there? I know Von Hovens are all famous climbers. They've climbed everything; Everest, K2, Dutch Windmills, waitresses...eeeh nevermind :o:p.

Hope all is well, big hugs and greets of course to all!! :D:D.

[peer01]

:D :D Thanks very much my good friend! :) Ofcourse I did some climbing :o To the first floor of my hotel after an important business diner.:rolleyes:

[davestan_ksan]

:D:p PAH, yeah some "business dinner." Harassing waitresses and drinking cheap beer doesn't qualify as a business dinner. Although, one waitress was talking about a handsome Dutchman who tipped very well. I took "her" picture btw:

That beer must have been tasty :o:p:D:D.

[dakillingmachine]
