Operation "Snow cap"

In search for a grounded AN-225

Bern, LSZB, 19 October 2000, 2015z

Late in the dESPair business day, Sir Darkwing contacted the HQ to discuss the upcoming mission to salvage the grounded Antonov AN-225. We got salvagion rights from russian officials, after our successfull cooperation in the Orlyonok affair. Sir Darkwing has been the designed contact officer for Iouri Ekimov, and has received a special flight training in the Antonov aircraft manufacturies. After his return, he began to plan the search and rescue of the downed aircraft. The mission lead us into swiss territory. The Antonov was said to be grounded somewhere high up in the swiss mountains. Below you find most of the PIREPs that were sent to the headquarter during this mission. However, some communication has only been sent through the mailing list and is not show here. Enjoy the reading!
