Well now....we have a video....anyone crank up a stopwatch and time the touchdown? May we assume since there were no higher mountains in sight....it was Everest? Did the French violate some agreement and thus nullify the FAI sanction as a result? Wonder if some palm remains dry and rough to the touch?

Does this mean Bell has a chance to beat out the French by doing the same feat but with everyone's blessing?

Ah, this is getting interesting!

Hello Bell, is this Bell Helicopters Textron, Bell Helicopter ? Hello....Hello?
