Certainly looks like you scored a goodun, congratulations.

Your photograph reminds me of a line from "The Black Sheep".

Prior to WWII Pappy's mob were already "in country" so to speak on that "other" conflict, and met by chance a couple of times when travelling to and from, the same group of people who passed themselves of a missionaries assistants or whatever.

The line that stuck with me was when the observation was made by one of Pappy's boys, that these dudes had, "Crows feet clear back to their hair line," if you know what I mean?

I believe with some spiritual assistance they soon revealed the extent of their 'secret' missions.

VF, just want to say mate, I have viewed every picture you've posted and just gotta say you have perhaps at least one of the most impressive jobs one could imagine! It truly must be a privilege to operate in such a beautiful place, albeit inhospitable at times. Hope you keep posting for a l o n g time!

Angel Happy New Year

With the very first rays of Sunlight there came a new Dawn, a new era for Vertical Flight - there came the 'JetBox'- WoW, later she became the 'JetBanger', much later came there came the 'X-Box' but now yea old reliable retro is back; the 'SexBox' the safest, most underrated working machine that ever was & still is Long may she Live

Mrs Vertical Freedom enjoying a ride in the 'SexBox' isn't she gorgeous (both of them)

isn't that the only Jetbox in Nepal? I don't see any other company using Jetbox. I stand to be corrected though.
