Top of the World: photos from Nepal
When I was a VIP pilot we had a policy of not descending in excess of 1,000 ft/min to reduce the possibility of our passengers suffering discomfort in their ears. Do you have a similar policy with regard to long descents?

If you are lucky I will try and post one of the Eastern Grass at Moorabbin Airport. We have had a bit of rain and warm weather lately so the scenery is spectacular, particularly as the sun sets over the Direct Factory Outlet store ......

Namaste VF.
As with all your other viewers, I love your photos and envy your location. Would you be up for taking photos of the cleaners engineers, office staff, re-,fuelers and the general infrastructure that supports the company? Not just the odd photo but a whole package interspersed with your future photos as that would really give us a feel for your daily life The places you stay when you get stuck away from base, the whole lot!
