February, 2011:

A team of six dignitaries from ‘Himal Power’ were on an official visit to Kirne- power plant site. Captain Deepak JB Rana was in charge of the mission and the helicopter. Our helicopter 9N-AIW –the Cobra took off from Kathmandu with Mr. Carl Martin Faaannessen and Mr. Narayan Devkota on board to Charikot (headquarter of Dolakha district) whereby IW picked up additional passengers- Lt. Colonel Mr. Yam Bahadur Sapkota, CDO Mr. Ganesh Prasad Bhattarai, DSP Mr Diraj Pratap Singh, NID incharge Mr. Badri K.C. From Charikot they were flown directly to Kirne. After the sight survey and related observation and preferred ground time they were all dropped back to Charikot and then to Kathmandu in sequence of where each individual was picked up.

Thank you for flying with Fishtail Air and we hope we can be of more help in near future to develop the on going projects  within the country.
