Angel Top of the World - Sagarmatha landing video

AS350 landing on Sagaramatha (Everest) details -

In the video note the following items;
donkey dicks removed from skids, flight steps removed, anti-vibration hat removed from mast. & many more goodies removed, little tweaks & permitted to pull way way beyond normal operating parameters for the engine. there appeared to be HOGE+ power available at all times whilst on the summit 29,211' - amazing???

Great job done by Didier with a little help from an ultra light machine & tons of extra power to boot I'd sure as shid be scared pulling that off

Cheers to happy days
