Ops normal

Great to see you back VF

...and don't let persons like TIMTS (), post #1834, get to you.

...and please be Very Very careful way up there where Icarus's wings melted.

...and somehow I'll make the time to come darken your doorstep.

Another set of wonderful pictures VF Dai! Hope your mom enjoyed the chaotic Kathmandu and the wires along with the architecture and temples. Those kinds of everyday pictures besides from flying pictures, makes your thread so refreshing. Please do post those "everyday pictures" from time to time along with your excellent flying pictures.

The view from your "le office"...been trying to figure out. Where is that place? I am taking a guess-Thankot(Naubise) area??

Stay safe and happy landings!

I'm not sure some of the numbers you post should be openly published.
