Simply stunning shot, clearly some challenging terrain there, bit more chalenging for fixed wings though. ;)

There may be 4 of us coming to Nepal next year, so do you fancy showing us some sights?

How apt. Never let the truth stand in the way of a good story.

there is no place for liar fake mountain pilots in my Himalayan mountains, fakers kill themselves and take innocent lives with them. I've seen a few here both airplane and helicopter pilots, some were Nepali nationals crash

How much can a Koala Bare
 
Morning AnimalMother...................it certainly is, can't see where else it could get as serious as the Himalayas, actually not so tough for the Stiff Wing lads as the Airports don't change, some weather is always available from ATC so their decision making is much more fixed, bit like their wings. Where ours is constantly new areas, new pads, no forecasting so up to the PIC alone :confused: I'm in & out, often on the other side, so let me know when Your coming & maybe we can do something :ok:

This is Lukla, not far from my home. Thanks for posting, very awesome picture, never seen it like this.

As a mere fixed-wing pilot who occasionally gets the ASI to read zero while airborne only through massive position error or on top of a stall turn, I have to say these pics are awesome! :ooh::D
