You will also find this rather well known oldie in the first release pack of the project

[Charl]

rather well known oldie

That's not the one that met the mountain perchance??

[Snowman]

It is indeed Charl, but out of respect for New Zealands darkest hour in aviation, the rego ZK-NZP has not been included with the others in the pack.

Yeah good thought.
That episode is best forgotten, from an aviation point of view at any rate.
That aircraft had no business being at that place at that time.
There are people alive today who must still have sleepless nights about their culpability.

Im one of those "sleepless" ones as you called it. I lost a sister on flight TE901, and one other of our project group lost a best friend on it.......
So its kinda close to home for a few reasons........
