Dust n stuff
Hey RVDT
Dust here is often a huge problem,
often down to total brown-out landings 
but that depends on the season, during Monsoons - nill 
other times Yikes you gotta plan to loose visual reference full IMC bar a rock you focus on through the chin bubble till the lever finally goes full down
Land Happy Always

I've been reading for some time about Vertical Freedom's love of the Robinson and can only imagine how he must feel with this new helicopter in Nepal -

FED - the info I have says Muktinath Airlines | Home
VF, if your boss plans on keeping the 206 for awhile you must persuade them to convert the C20J to a C20R. If it's needed anywhere, it is in your helicopter! Contact Soloy ([email protected]) who owns the STC they will help you with the little adapter kit that covers the installation. You will be very happy with the increased TOT margins at the altitudes where you live and work.
Your photos and commentaries have made you very valuable to lot of your friends and colleagues around the world.
Please keep them coming.

C20R
Namaste GT
Yep I would Lurv the C20R, hmmmm but the finance dept.???? I can pull 1 person off a ledge at 16,200' maybe 2 in the right conditions with the C20J. With the C20R I could go to Everest base camp & grab 1 or maybe 2.
Lets see, we are planning a second Jettie, stripped, gutted, trimmed of excessive fat & with a C20R....that's gonna be exciting.
