Title: Yeti Airlines suffers crash in Nepal
Post by: TheSoccerMom on October 08, 2008, 06:14:30 AM

BBC news states a Yeti Airlines airplane crashed on landing at Lukla, Nepal....  with 18 fatalities.

Though it doesn't say, chances are it's a Twin Otter...

I flew twice Yeti and they're not really in good shape the planes. I'm not sure they would be allowed to fly for US and EU standards....

No, no, my point was just the OPPOSITE....

they paid him to fly around most of the globe (and I think it was a pretty hefty amount) just to have a proper look at their aircraft.....

Don't shoot me yet, mate!!!!!!!!!!    :P
