Where is Vertical Flight

I seem to be getting cold sweats and shivers at not seeing my almost daily dose of unimaginable grandeur of the Himalaya ranges, has he gone on holiday to some lower altitude, or has Mrs VF made him have a break!!

Just to add a little more to the last post...the place where this accident occurred is currently ground zero for a large natural disaster and I'm sure things are hectic there currently:

Angel Holiday mode

Namaste & G'day

Me & the better half is on holidays in Australia. Rest assured after a wee break & batteries recharged ~ i will be back to fly the Himalayas


The massive landslide fell that into the Bhotekosi river, wiping away houses, fields. Six people so far are dead, over a hundred are still missing, sadly unlikely to be ever found.

This landslide is no where near the Last Resort where a Man died walking into the Tail Rotor of one of FTA's Helicopters - RIP

Hey VF,

That's your lady wife Mrs VF in some nice looking building resembling a Lighthouse,

Nice to see you are back on the posts, I was having withdrawal symptoms,
Very sad about the people and the landslide.
