Hello VF. I have noticed, both in your photos and the TV series, that none of the helicopters are fitted with snowshoes, sometimes called bear paws. Is there a operational reason for that?

G'day OF......it's about the money, yar, yar I know one dinged Tail is gonna cost a heck of a lot more than a pair of Bear Paws :( 4 machines of the entire countries fleet have them :ooh:

Greetings from 482' MSL, V.F.! (Southwest Ohio, USA.) Sagarmatha claimed a number of victims this past weekend - she is jealous of her summit and guards it accordingly. I was curious as to whether you might have been involved in any rescue efforts and have kept fingers crossed that you remain safe while flying your "frantic palm tree". Om and Ghitissara Sutta!

Fellow Slovak climber died at South col 2 or 3 days ago so maybe his body will be retrieved from Western Cwm - Camp 2. If yes and you will be involved, greet his immortal soul from me. You know...
