G'day nuthin

Your right Brother, to achieve the lifts here often to fly back to my fuel stash can be 8-10mins away so often landing with 7 or 8usgals which at these ultra high altitudes is your 20 mins except when doing Rescues above 20,000' then I am landing with 35-40litres on gauge on the AS350B3+ which is about 12-15mins, but You gotta do that or You won't pick up the Patient You need that eXtra leverage

Happy Landings
