Makes me hypoxic just looking at those photos, and makes me fidget too. Altitudes above 500' just make me fidget, above 3000' I just close my eyes and try to pretend I'm somewhere else where the air is far more dense.

तिमीलाई कस्तो छ?

Thank you for showing us how other parts of the world live - fascinating.

Question for you: What is the highest altitude you have ever landed at?
Have you ever been trapped at height due to bad weather rolling in? And how do you protect your aircraft if it is outside for a long time?

What is the coldest temperature you have ever operated in?

Above all - stay safe and keep those wonderful pictures coming

Looks like you need the loo roll in the fridge before you eat the loopdaloop! Looks like a lot of chilli.
