The Sherpa we picked up from EV2 was definitely swept away in the Avalanche & injured. That is what their insurance had informed to us. When he was picked up, 3 were still missing, but as at now???? I don't know, we are not in direct comms with the Climbing groups, we get a call from their insurance if a rescue needs to be mobilized. Happy landings VF |
VF, I understand there was a rescue you participated in on Everest, but I wonder why you associate it with photographs of a different incident on Annapurna. As you know, those mountains are not adjacent. *That* is where the confusion is. Would you consider editing your earlier posts to reflect this?
I, and thousands of others, really appreciate what you do.:ok: |
CORRECTION
Namaste Aviators
I recently posted some pix of an Avalanche which were sent to me by a Trekker who claimed they were from the Everest region. Where there was a recent Avalanche. After thoroughly cross-checking I can confirm those Avalanche pix where in fact from the Annapurna region, between Camp 1 & 2, Nepal. The picture I posted of the rescued Sherpa from Everest Camp 2 was swept away in an Avalanche on the Lhotse side of the Khumbu Ice-fall, abeam Everest Camp 2,. He was blown some 300meters down slope by the Avalanche & was thrown into a Crevasse from where he was miraculously located & then rescued by Climbers Patrolling for survivors. After being stabilized he was picked up by Helicopter & flown to VNKT. He is recovering well. Any inconvenience or offense from incorrect information is regretted from my side. Labels on the posted pix have now been corrected. Happy landings :ok: VF |

Capt Fathom,
Thanks for the post. I hadn't seen this thread before. I've just spent over an hour going through all 27 pages! VF, great pictures. I notice helicopters from different companies. Do you freelance or do they all belong to the same parent company? |

VF, welcome back!
As Ecureilx mentioned, you need to re-size the photos as they are throwing the page width out. You can manually adjust the size of any photo prior to uploading onto whichever photo-host you use. Regarding the photo in #534 .. are these aircraft attending the annual Bharal Derby? ;) |
