Guys.. I just read a report that there is a kerosine shortage in Lukla. All planes are grounded untill further notice. A truck with some fresh
Jet-A fuel is scheduled to arrive thursday evening.

So I think I am going to add a glider to my company.. We need to get out there as beer is also running out. Big Grin

@Drew...that'll teach you to fly sober to Lukla Wink

@Arjen...don't they deliver fuel to Lukla via mule and trailer? Big Grin

Oh, that's what they call "trucking" it,huh? lol

By the way, I installed the VNKT scenery files and found that it hangs up FS Nav when trying to rebuild the scenery database, so I
uninstalled the scenery files and FS Nav worked properly again. Guess I'll stick with the default scenery. At least the VOR works there Smile

Fuel shortage, you say? Luckily I loaded too much fuel in Patna, so I'll be able fly out of the hole :p

I'm changing plane in Tribhuvan anyway, I've had some major faults with my right engine, and I don't trust those drunken mechanics at these airports,
so I'm sending the bird to Stansted for repairs. Seems I'll be flying one of KLM excel's planes while my bird undergoes repairs...

I wouldn't worry about the fuel shortage, Ginny. I usually put moonshine in my fuel tank if Jet-A isn't available. I know, I know...wasting
moonshine to fuel an airplane is a bad thing Big Grin
