WHAT DO YOU GET?

With this package you get 34 flights, total flight time is 44:14 hours, you visit 2 continents and 10 countries, land at and depart from 20 airports and 2 glacier landing strips, the highest being located at 5820m/19100ft elevation, you will break still standing world records and welcome ministers of your host country aboard your aircraft, 10000 will come and see you flying an airshow from a provisional airstrip, you will handle loss-of-communication procedures and finally an engine failure. And the best part is, it all happened that way in reality!

WHAT IS THE BACKGROUND?

Almost every year in the 1950s an expedition was started to reach one of the most difficult and dangerous eight-thousander, the Dhaulagiri in the central Himalaya. But as none of these expeditions made it to the summit, in 1960 the Dhaulagiri remained the highest unconquered mountain in the world.

These bushtrips tell the story of some young men who set out from Europe in 1960 in a small aircraft to take part in one of the most fantastic adventures of modern times, eventually climbing to the summit of Dhaulagiri!

Their aircraft was the one-year-old prototype of the Pilatus PC-6 Porter with the registration HB-FAN, whose eye-catching red and yellow color scheme provided high visibility, and which was nicknamed Yeti.

And these were the adventures that these men together with little Yeti had:

Flight from Switzerland to Nepal over 8 daily stages.
Twice improved the today still standing world record for the highest landings and takeoffs of fixed-wing aircraft.
Landing on a temporary airstrip on Kathmandu’s parade ground.
Airshow over Kathmandu.
Glacier landings in the Himalaya.
Establish an air transport network between the highest ever used airstrips.
Having to circle around the tower until receiving landing clearance by a green lightgun after the radio failed.
Perform an emergency landing after an engine failure.

WHAT IS INCLUDED?

In this package you find 17 bushtrip, each containing all flights the real Yeti made on a particular day in spring 1960. Each bushtrip includes between one and four flights. Each individual flight is carefully recreated based on the book “The Ascent of Dhaulagiri” by Max Eiselin, the leader of the expedition. Since each daily stage is a separate bushtrip, you can not only operate the flights in chronological order, but also start with any daily stage at any time.

WHAT ARE THE FEATURES?

Detailed information about the flights, routes, and waypoints in the navlog.
Everything you need to know will be explained comprehensively, like glacier landing procedures, engine failure handling, loss-of-communication procedures, air show figures, classical navigation methods and fuel management.
Detailed illustrations provide guidance on the geography and correct execution of the various procedures.

Besides the bushtrips, this package also includes ...

90 km2 of aerial imagery covering generic terrain in the Dhaulagiri area.
3 static sceneries (Gadani shipwrecking yard, temporary airstrip for the airshow, tent basecamp of the UK expedition).
2 dynamic sceneries, which change while the expedition progresses (just void plains of snow when landing the first time, material depot after takeoff, fully ramped up base camps with tents the following days).

Finally, this package also includes an exact replica of the colorful paint job Yeti had!

Swiss Air Force V-633, Ski and wheel version
