During an online session a couple of years ago a bunch of us were feeling wild and wacky and decided to see if we could fly the trikes to the top of Mt. Everest! :isadizzy:

We took off from the closest airport to the summit and all was going quite well until we got to about 13,500 feet when .....:pop4:.

We all simultaneously started to fall out of the sky with zero lift! We finally managed to land on a nearby snow slope amidst raucous laughter on Skype!

Well I did say we were feeling wild and wacky! :d

Some of us were high on caffeine (it was early hours for some IIRC....we were from two continents with an ocean between, flying online together) and others had been on the beer...what more can I say....lol.
