Yep there is a black R44 sitting on the Helipad at VNKT

SASless R44 not much diff to a B206. I don't think SO... I have flown the 206B here to Mera, rescue flt for 1 x pax ;16,400'@ 2oC, so the ole Jetbox can be worked up here. But do that in a R44 hahahahaha,. At KTM they have already lost 5inches of MP at VNLK loose -10", not to mention; no AVGAS, no cargo space, no looks, no big safety record, not like a Jetbox or an Ecureuil has.

Will it work in Nepal with EXTREME weather conditions & ISA plus 35oC being not uncommon???????

nah me thinks not
