PPRuNe Forums - Top of the World: photos from Nepal

Great set of pics again VF Dai

Are you the only Jet Ranger pilot in Fishtail? I see you more on the Bell than on the Eurocopters.

Comparatively, are Nepali pilots there mostly AS 350 rated only?

If memory serves me right, that's the only Jet Ranger in Nepal except for what the military has, right?

Happy Tihar in advance.

Every good loader knows that the rotor babes go in the front seat beside the pilot. You soon get demoted from loadie to chief hanger sweeper if you stuff that one up.

And yes, it is always due to CoG issues.;)
