VF, these latest pictures made me think of Wildman by Kate Bush.

The schoolmaster of Darjeeling said he saw you by the Tengboche Monastery.
You were playing in the snow. You were banging on the doors. You got up on the roof, Roof of the World.

Excellent, Gemini Twin. Takes me right back! Oh, and brilliant photos as well, from a lurker!

A lot of people have advised you on this forum to come up with a photo book of your amazing pictures. It would be an excellent book without any doubt!:ok:

Heres a Nepali pilot who has come up with a similar book

Nothing posted for so long............... hope you are ok Vertical Freedom.

Travelling to Nepal in the next two weeks and fully intend to a) fly into Lukla and b) get a flight around Sagarmatha

I'm not sure I will get any pics that are anywhere near the quality of yours, but they sure have inspired me to make this short trip.

Just watched the Glacier Vid, ....just like all your stills it is breathtaking in what it presents to us sea level dweller's, you could become a Cult with a following of armchair Pilots.
