Again, these photos are just spectacular!
What is your job/position in Nepal? Hired by a local heli-company providing support and SAR for climbers? If you have already told your story here, please give me a link to the post

aftermath from the massive avalanche that swept away camp 3, recovering 5 Blessed Bodies that died here, the break line at the top of the avalanche can be seen here, 21, 529' 
Dear VF 
,
Always impressed with your work, both at the controls and with a camera. One quick question on the last photo of this tragic (a local cardiologist died in this avalanche) event; how high is the wall left from the break?
With no visual references in the area, it's hard to get a sense of the height.
Thanks & keep up the great work

Hello and Good afternoon Vertical Freedom, from Sunny Lancashire,
Again a stunning few pictures of your everyday view from your mobile office window,
Despite the rugged beauty of that almost untouched area you fly in, death still awaits at every chance to steal the hearts and minds of thoses who dare to reach out to what looks like one of the last unfriendly frontiers.
Take care VF, many of us down near to Sea level read your posts.
My regards

What Peter said. Thanks, VF, you're doing a fabulous job chronicling one of the most fascinating areas on the planet. I dare say many of us live vicariously through your adventures.
Safe flying,

Thanks for Your comments.
Yes here in Nepal is amazing & probably amongst the more challanging places to fly thanks to ultra high landing elevations, DA (ISA +30oC) & crap weather
we have some of the highest accident rates here for both Fixed & Rotory Winged aircraft's due to the mentioned reasons 
So the adventure continues
