misalignment

Hi VF,

re Bollywood Lookout #3145, is it, ummh, just a little bit possible your skids are not aligned with the H?

And you might want to sack that Bollywoodfilm crew....having the star squinting into sun is way less than professional

best...

Namaste VF,

thank you very much for this thread. I originally started backwards and then I realised I have to do it from the beginning. I've spent about 2 weeks with it.

OMG, you woke memories, especially your big photos of Everest, where a fellow climber of mine vanished after first alpine style climb of Bonnington route (SW face) in 1988. 4 folks been there for too long and after summiting they started to descend to South col. They talked with BC by walkie talkie and stated they had problem with visibility and exhaustion, one of them could hardly walk and in raging storm they vanished forever, probably descended by mistake into Kangshung face of Everest. This was one of the most epic climbs on Everest unfortunately with an tragic end.

Keep your posts coming, this is probably the best thread of PPRuNe.

Angel that's Life

Hey BT, the helmet is not that old.... I get 'em already; a couple of calls a week, but the Missus says NO to many Hot distractions on the film set, so I stay here doing the usual 1,233 rescues so far in 4 & a half years here
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many thanks Pali for Your kind words....Sorry to hear of Your Friend's demise on Sagarmatha, an all too sad & very familiar story here, 2 climbing seasons a year & half my flights are for Blessed Body recoveries, the other half Rescues

Stay Happy, stay Safe with many more Happy landings
