Hallo VF (and all),

Nice Pics as always - but I suppose you are not currently working up there, are you? Because the pics seem all to be "old" ones from your early days. Am I right? Still they are worth to look at and admire your experience from up there.
Always happy landings😉

Morning twisted wrench.......thanks Brother

Hoy Claudia.........thanks Mate. Yep the ole B in extremes runs outa puff real quick, basically Your Nr limited. Rather than engine, as the donk remains happy in the green, pull up on the club & bingo, low rotor horn tells You - 'naughty..naughty' no different than flying any other Bird; 'keep her within limits & upright'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

VF,

Not an aircraft...the person (or people) !

The locals refer to the two alive kings simply as K..and the number, in succession.

Cheers,
