Angry UPDATE 39th crash this century in Nepal

Fishtail crashed (again) no serious injuries....appears from reports to be a partial head break up or blade failure

Hey Ian Corrigible...Yep thanks I know ole Mate Jas very well he is a really good Guy & great Pilot

It seems only the contracted seasonal drop ins do rescues worthy of mention in Nepal my 1,289 rescues don't count, 54 above 21,000' don't count Capt SG a Nepali has done over 2,000 rescues also don't count Capt MF Italian has done 25 rescues another contracted for the season drop in, is also splashed all over the global media for his few efforts praise be the skewed one eyed media

Happy Happy Landings

Hey krypton_john Nepal certainly needs more talented Pilot's like Capt Jason, He can do what most local Pilot's cannot

Nepali aviation is undoubtedly the most unsafe in the World with a corrupt authority that does nothing but take black money to look the other way. Maintenance that barely exists, doing the barest minimum to get by. No training being conducted in any fixed or rotory companies, except Simrik being the only company in Nepal attempted to conduct some training
