Namaste Ye Olde Pilot

Thank You Brother for compliments..... yaar but I can tell You though - it's no fun in the monsoon :eek: :{ :mad: no fun at all :(

Ye Olde Pilot 1st Sep 2013 18:18

I'm sure I speak for others when I say thanks to you and your fellow pilots for providing such an essential service to so many people in very extreme terrain,operating conditions and weather.

In a few words you are a lifeline to those people.

Please keep posting the pictures.

For some of the regular whiners on here be thankful you don't face these conditions every day.:=
