Hey VF..

Mate how long would it take to sling that Porter and AS350 fuss back to Katmandu.....:confused:

Sling
 

Jd...why sling't? Just to the left of the fuselage, there's some nice wire to stich the wings back on with. Sufficient speed-tape to cover the holes, her'n there. Perhaps a new windscreen, gojuice to fit.....viola, jello KTM!
PS: there could be a issue with the propellar as well. No big problem, there's probly one hanging
on the wall of the club house :)

Awesome flicks again again, VF !

I feel the Porter is a work-in-progress, to whatever ! :D

Seems neatly packaged !!

New players in the market?

In this post http://www.pprune.org/8771489-post2281.html
is that a new helicopter company next to Dynasty?
Also, did Shri Airlines add some more AS350s, as I can see at least two parked behind Dynasty's heli?

Excellent pics...stay safe in the winter

Details with strong coffee

Namaste ecureilx

Sadly that Porter has only a few hundred hours on the airframe :ugh: & like all air-crashes in Nepal (there a many, many here) the left over, remains will be scrapped, rather than sold to fly again :{

Thanks for the heli updates VF Dai:ok:

Did Fishtail get rid of some 350s, since there are only two?:ooh: I hope that the CEO does not get too focused on the new FW business and neglect the heli operations.:sad:

Looks like all the operators in Nepal are switching to AS350 completely. Manang was MI operator and so was Shree. What happened to the two BK117 owned by Simrik?:confused:

Also, what is that Robbie doing up there alone in the cold besides sightseen in VNPK? Honestly, what kind of work does the Robinson do in that altitude?:\

Cold is brutal in Ktm, stay warm and safe.

Om Shanti

More Coffee please & make it strong
 

Good morning gcpilot8

Your most welcome Dhai ;)
Yes 4 years ago an FTA; B3+ had a fatal crash on Ama Dablam :=
I think the FW side will get ALL the focus & the $$$'s from now on :{
Some wise operators are looking for L4's with the HATR :ok:
Twins just don't work so good at ultra high altitude/DA, nor $$$ viable here, so Simrik sold the 117 back to the Kiwi's :sad:
The Robbie doesn't belong here or anywhere, it fluffs around with 2 x PAX for a 20min scenic departing from 2,000' back to the same at VNPK :mad:
KTM is not as cold as Siberia :eek:

��Om Shanti Shanti Shanti��
