Mt Everest
Condor 17 Ref Post No 3867
I think we did fly over the Col although I do not have a clear recollection of the event. I remember calling the range to Mt. Everest using the E290 radar and thinking afterwards that we had strayed in to Chinese airspace so we must have circled the mountain. It was a very calm day but I do not remember any of us talking about the possibilities of down draughts. We did keep a respectful distance though. Trouble is that it was 45 years ago and memories fade.
