I like it at 6:45 where the cinematographers are talking about extreme turbulence cutting to VF flying left handed.

Nothing posted for so long............... hope you are ok Vertical Freedom.

Travelling to Nepal in the next two weeks and fully intend to a) fly into Lukla and b) get a flight around Sagarmatha

I'm not sure I will get any pics that are anywhere near the quality of yours, but they sure have inspired me to make this short trip.

Namaste VF

Just watched the Glacier Vid, ....just like all your stills it is breathtaking in what it presents to us sea level dweller's, you could become a Cult with a following of armchair Pilots.

Stay safe

April and May must be very busy times for you. Isn't this the height (no pun intended) of the climbing season?

Fly safe VF.
