Aircraft Routine Tire Change

hi calvin,

 

You are interested in technical details? Here we have a routine tire change due to a worn out tread. The old tire is already demounted giving you the chance to see one of the break packages and to allow a better view onto the axle the grommet has been removed for a second. Photo is approved for public release by Thai Airways International.

This is some airport

hi calvin,

 

 

If you look carefully you will see the Twin Otter on finals to this extraordinary airport. The runway is a 1700ft strip running 12% uphill, on the edge of a deep ravine and ending at a sheer mountain wall. All landings are uphill (06), all take-offs downhill (24). Only pilots with at least 7 years' experience in are allowed to fly there .

 

fyi this is lukla airport in nepal.

 

cheers,

uncle chris:)
