B Sousa
WeŽll I obviously didnŽt mean that a standard B3 could be used for rescue of the top of Mt Everest.
But this could be a lead towards developing a helicopter that could rescue people off high altitude places.
Only a few dayŽs ago nobody thought it was even possible to land helicopters on Mt Everest and now suddenly its been proven that it can be done.. WeŽll then rescuing someone from these altitudes is probably not so impossible either, is it?
These "Rich" mountaineers will continue climbing mountains, rescue helicopter or not!
Just because some people can afford to use money to climb mountains or sail the seaŽs or go to vacation in Thailand does not mean they should not be rescued if at all possible, if they need it.
