Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Am getting more that a little worried I am petrified of flying and have holidayed in britain for the last 2 years because of this. Silly I know but I cant help it. Bought my children ski's for christmas and took them to scotland in January. However the snow was that poor they didn't even get to put their ski's on. I have been very brave and booked to take them to Bansko in March, but having read on this sight that the aircraft are very old and scary now I'm absoluteley terrified. Someone please reasure me that I've nothing to worry about.

Just remember that every aircraft flying in and out of Britain has to meet the same, strict safety regulations before it's allowed to leave the stand at the airport. So whether you're flying in a plane that's 20 years old or 2 years old, they all have to have the same safety standards. They wouldn't be allowed to use them if they were dangerous.

Just relax. All this fretting on the boards at the moment - at the end of the day, what can you do about it anyway? Can you make it snow? Can you go in your own private jet?

Que sera sera, people.

Hi Manx Cat
If they are still using Topolov (i think thats how it is spelt) they are like a small tri-star. They are military aircraft and designed with that in mind. They will stay up in the air even with one engine and the cabin shot full of holes, you should be ok, at least their wheels don`t fall off..
Flew on one over twenty years ago to Plovdiv (very differant then) and landed on ice and snow, a bit unnerving to go slightly sideways as the pilot powered each engine to bring us to a stop. These guys know what they are doing...
Will be flying myself in March with Balkan, no fears at all....
Hope this helps
