Hi Farang,
I too am recording Everest rescue. Im good friends with VF and fortunately for him he's not involved.
The series gives an amazing insight to high altitude flying but its typical Foxtel or National geographic sensationalism with similar rhetoric to other aviation programs they cover.
Apart from the rubbish its very entertaining and the scenery is just wow!....and gives me a better appreciation for where my buddy works.
Hello belly tank. Yes, having previously had experience in Australia with egotistical media types, it would appear that those pilots have a good handle on what can and cannot be done safely. Very impressive!
