Fantastic pictures and a refreshing change from some of the people on here who do nothing but moan about how hard their routine is.

I'm sure I speak for others when I say thanks to you and your fellow pilots for providing such an essential service to so many people in very extreme terrain,operating conditions and weather.

In a few words you are a lifeline to those people.

Please keep posting the pictures.

For some of the regular whiners on here be thankful you don't face these conditions every day.
