PPRuNe Forums - Top of the World: photos from Nepal

Inspiring as always my friend. Do you find that the topography makes you feel kind of insignificant when you're up close? It must be fantastic looking up to Everest from the foothills.

Good on ya mate. I will get there in my lifetime. (Really, like to work there but:cool:)

Looks like the helicopter market is picking up in Nepal.:ok: Shree Airlines used to operate exclusively MI-17 but they recently got a B3e.:cool:

They also have ordered few AS350 and some EC 130:eek: EC 130 have never flown in Nepal before :8

Nepal?s Shree Airlines orders eight light Eurocopter helicopters - Eurocopter, an EADS company

That's a BIG order for a Nepali company!:eek:

What's your take on this?
