Hi VF

You're photos are amazing, I always look forward to new ones.

Is that Lukla airport on post 3982, perhaps it's the perspective but it seems very challenging not much room for error, although I guess that would sum up most of of your flights.

Keep safe,
T18

"Feminine shoots"! Would be interesting to drag up some old photos of the Lukla airstrip being "constructed" as I recall if was both male and female sherpas from the Namche/Khunde/Khumjung area involved in packing, rather stamping, the dirt of the runway. It was dirt when I flew out of it in early 1974 complete with broken aircraft at the top and bottom of the runway. Changed somewhat since then.

Huge mural appendages on the wall in #4015! :)....sorry its late at night and the eye starts wandering!.

Figured that must be the boys room brother! :)

Would love to hear the background story to whats obviously some sort of custom there?..

Does seem a tad unusual for exterior wall decoration, doesn't it?

Pic 4012, been there, very high...like 12,000 feet, in a car !? The clouds were 6,000 feet below us.

Superb pics of Bhutan.

Hey VF. Just been watching "Everest Rescue" on cable TV here in Bangkok. First episode and I missed part of it as well, but without giving away family secrets what do you know about the program?

Jason the pilot features a lot, but a couple of local boys doing a good job, including an impromptu medivac. (no idea where the Heidata News bit comes from)

Hi Farang,

I too am recording Everest rescue. Im good friends with VF and fortunately for him he's not involved.:ugh:

The series gives an amazing insight to high altitude flying but its typical Foxtel or National geographic sensationalism with similar rhetoric to other aviation programs they cover.

Apart from the rubbish its very entertaining and the scenery is just wow!....and gives me a better appreciation for where my buddy works.:ok:

Hello belly tank. Yes, having previously had experience in Australia with egotistical media types, it would appear that those pilots have a good handle on what can and cannot be done safely. Very impressive!

Too high up for me, I am scared of heights! Strange, used to fly around with the door off all day, but even some video on the TV has me quivering. Guess it has something to do with both being sat down, and in control. Cheers

G'day Old Farang.........yer I know what You mean, I'm shaky too at heights, that's why I stick to 500'AGL whenever possible, but crossing 20,000' pass You do get a bit of exposure :hmm:
