Best photo

Steve/VF,

A question if I may from here far away in Sydney.

Off all the stunning views and glimpses of life in Nepal and mountain helicopter operations you have showed us which one is your favourite/most memorable?

Namaste Steven Dai

I know the country had been hit hard by shortage of petrol/diesel for the land vehicles. How are the helicopters faring with aviation fuel?

Happy Dashain!

VF,

That looks a pretty tight, obstructed fixed-wing final into Simikot for the Twotters and Dorniers. Is it as bad as it looks or is it really foreshortened by the camera?

Keep up the posting!

David

Smile Strong Coffee time

Good morning gcpilot8

No petrol for taxi's, private cars nor bikes, now only for Buss's & essential services??? NOTAM to all international carriers ZERO fuel for sale at VNKT Domestic carriers are getting fuel from Bangladesh via Royal Nepal Airways 757
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey David, the local ID is on the reverse side, I did get ramp checked that day passed though @ VNST there is a separate parking ramp for Rotor-craft, as for cramping the Stiff-wingers that's an optical delusion, they all think their much bigger than reality

Happy Happy
