So, who fetches the soccer ball after it flies over the edge???

TrakBall 18th Feb 2015 17:04

I think the answer to that is Vertical Freedom!

krypton_john 18th Feb 2015 20:11

The urge to align over the H lost its battle against the urge to hang the tail over the abyss....

At least there was still the halfway line to save a modicum of dignity, VF!
:D

Hey air-bender

I helped fly (blow) it over the edge :{ the ball that is :mad:

heliduck 19th Feb 2015 21:14

Gidday VF, quite a few of the communities in your photos look like they rely heavily on growing there own food etc to survive, & accessing them using land transport would be very difficult. Helicopters aren't cheap to run, are the rescues/hospital transfers etc paid for by government departments, community funds or individuals?

Finnrotor.com 19th Feb 2015 22:05

U changed from Fishtail to Manang (pic..)? :confused:

Looks like rotary aviation is booming in Nepal! Fly safe out there!

Hey Heliduck

Yep, land transport is often by foot or horse or buffalo :eek: All local people rescues are self funded ONLY, plus they have to pay first before we mobilize, as too many have skimped paying when their relative dies whilst we are inbound, or they never really had the cash; so now it's pay first or it's a no go :=
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Morning Finnrotor.com

Yes now with Manang :ok: the market here is ferociously competitive, hence why some don't do proper maintenance, but hopefully those guys will fall over soon & then we can have a market price correction :ouch:
