Hi VF
Hope all is okay up there, just read about the B2 incident. Fly Safe R W Fishtail Air Helicopter crashes in Dolpa A Fishtail Air helicopter on a rescue mission crashed in upper Dolpa on Friday afternoon. According to a news report by Annapurna Post, the tail rotor of the Eurocopter AS350 B2 (registration number 9N-AKA) struck the surface and caused the incident. The pilot and a support staff, who sustained minor injuries, were airlifted by a Simrik Air helicopter to Dunai, the headquarters of Dolpa district, the report, adds. |

Hey GT
Yaaar the Pilatus Porter flew in, Pilot misjudged the tail-cross-wind & crashed into the lower Helipad at VNLK :yuk: where she sadly remains today, a near brand new airframe being misused as a lean-to :{ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hey P3127 Thanks Mate :O ******************************************************* Hey RW Don't know much, so can't say much :8 I have spoken with the concerned Pilot & there are NO injuries as wrongly reported. It was an emergency forced-landing (read elected Auto) due rapidly increasing vibrations & erratic heading changes from the Tail-Rotor :uhoh: which rapidly became frighteningly high........fearing an in-flight airframe failure; the Pilot elected to land in not the best spot causing a TR blade strike during the landing sequence :mad: the cause of the excessive vibration has as yet not been revealed? :( ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Good job :cool: to Capt N ;) Truly a frightening experience :( =========================================== Happy Landings - always :ok: http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...75560C14_2.jpg http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...F069CB98_1.jpg & the show must go on :rolleyes: Naak cheese nibblies @ Kyangjing Gompa 13,356' :O |

Hey BS
If it's a quick turn around Rescue......1 to max 3 mins & then go go go :confused: Happy Landings :O |
Hope you don't mind a small intrusion, Vertical Freedom, but I thought I'd add this pic of one of Simrik Air's helicopters landing at Lukla. The camera was horizontal...so it gives a great impression of how steep the runway is!:eek:
