Could the moderators make a dedicated Nepal page where VF and others could post?
What an amazing flying experience these chaps have and what skills they demonstrate that most of us can only dream about. I have had my share of arctic and european mountains but this lot takes the biscuit.
Roll on more wonderful photographs from VF and others. Why should they be sidelined because they are so much better than the rest of us, and have the luck to be flying at the edge of the world in helicopter terms.
I wish I was there......................D

The only thing needed to complement his photos is the story on how he went from a Hughes 269 / 300 at sea level in Queensland to an AS350B3 in Nepal!
But that's more appropriate on another thread.

I really hope the comments of a few do not put off Vertical Freedom.
If you want as many as he can provide.
If you want to moan about them, beat them! I certainly can`t. Lets see yours.
Personally, I love his pictures.

Keep posting VF... wonderful pictures. As mentioned before, don't let some few comments put you off posting those amazing pictures...
When this treat started years ago, nobody mentioned there was a limit number of pictures or a limit number of pages to be posted. The sky is the limit and your sky is higher than anybody else here...
Bring it on....

foot note: this is not an ad for Antonov or Eurocopter
Pedantic: I looked for an Antonov, and only saw an Ilyushin 76 in the shades
Keep the pictures coming, I do enjoy your view ..

Namaste Epiphany, nope only took it last week. 
Hey Widewoodenwingswork, Yep Pilatus there have been 3 stiff-wing prangs at VNLK in the past 1yr, quite a few else where as well 
Plank flying' here ain't easy, some of the odd sloped dirt strips, WoW its scary to watch & it sure not like landing on a big sealed Internationale airport 
they get committed with no go around a long way out on appr. if the wind? conditions change then they crash, no secnd option, You gotta be good, but also the conditions are extreme &, &, they do lose a lot of planes here a year. very sad high loss of lives
Happy Landings
