Angel eXtra Strong Coffee please

G'day Safe.Fly123, thank You, we are OK, but tired of the massive aftershocks that are still coming & wondering if this One is gonna be the next big ONE at least one Pilot here could no longer cope with the work pressure & the danger & the aftershocks & so left Nepal, can't blame his decision

As for the good clix, thanks.......just lucky with an iPhone I guess & having a good pair of auto-Pilot knees to jiggle the cyclic for me

Happy Happy

Based in nothing more scientific than gut instinct, I just can't see how those stubby V22 blades could grab hold of any thin Nepalise air!

Good morning krypton_john, totally correct, in-fact they have been politely requested (V22) not to come near any villages as they are destroying the remainder of the buildings undamaged by the Earthquake are now collapsing from the massive down-wash

7th Report, another Big Quake 7.4

12th May around 2pm another huge Earthquake struck. My Wife Dolma was at work in Thamil, 5 story building when it began to violently shake, 29staff ran, screaming, crying, stumbling out of the only narrow stairwell........which then went like jelly Dolma described, all frightened the building would come in around their ears this Hospital collapsed same time, but was already condemned by the Government after the 25th April Quake so luckily was empty. 3 big after shakes followed in the high Sixes. Many more Homes throughput the effected area collapsed. There are now around 250,000 homes destroyed by this tragic event

Earthquakes Nepal

Red tagged building 150metres from where we live, (condemned) so it has to be pulled down, unless another good shake doesn't do the job first
