VNRR _ Rara airstrip @ 9,100' note the bent fixed-wings. Nepal is without doubt one of the more challenging places in the world to fly, with the highest terrain in the World, amongst the worst weather, ultra high turbulance & highest high temperature density altitudes, crap vis :{ ❤✈ Jai Shiv Shankarhttp://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...9/IMG_0808.jpg

VF: Can I second Aser's recommendation that you buy a GoPro cam (the latest model is the Hero 2).

The camera can be mounted virtually anywhere (as you'll see when you check out the mounting options) and would be the ideal compliment to your spectacular images.
