There are no other threads suggesting that all pilots should wear helmets. If you continue to derail threads with your obsession about helmets and uniforms then such posts will be deleted.

The only one pushing his luck is you. Enough

While landing into those damp places in hills, have you ever encountered leeches??

Also, do you guys ever fly/rescue in the southern Terai part of the country as most pictures are from hill/mountain region except for Lumbini charter trip?

G'day Ye Olde Pilot, Yaar BoneDomes are a good thing, they do save lives. Wearing a CrashHat saved DS when he was flying IVIEW when he crashed a few months back Uniforms well errr that's another story Wearing a helmet is a personal choice, here it is not a requirement & so I opt for the comfort & go without

Hi gcpilot8 Yes Mate there are leaches everywhere, even with 2 legs but I am more worried about the Village Idiots & the odd Yeti wandering around wanting to gnaw my leg off We do occasionally go down to the Terai but as it is well serviced by roads; not much

Happy Landings

Nepali politician not allowed to charter helicopters without government approval

KATHMANDU, Oct 31: The Election Commission (EC) has directed UCPN (Maoist) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal not to use helicopters without prior consent from the EC during the election campaign.

In a statement on Thursday, the EC said that Dahal was found using helicopters without prior consent from the EC. “The EC decided to direct Dahal not to use helicopters without prior consent,” reads the statement issued by the EC Spokesperson Bir Bahadur Rai.
