The Beast - Mils
Stunning! Are there a lot of Mils flying in Nepal? Are they looking for pilots for Mils? Do you know how high do they operate them?

Hey MercuryRises
Yep there is 1 x Mi17 operated by Shree here & yes with the TV3 donks :eek: But can't give You any clue as to how they perform ultra high. They fly with 5 metric tons internal cargo into VNSB, the World's 3rd highest airstrip Land Happy always :) |
Thanks VF. They are overloading the Mi-17. It can carry 4 Tons inside. 5 tons is really pushing it. They must have very skilled pilots to carry such load to VNSB.

Excellent set of pictures again VF. Thanks!
Do you encounter any issues regarding communication with ATC due to language/communication barriers? |
G'day gcpilot8
Thanks Brother :ok: As we are an ICAO country here, all ATC dialogue must be in English, so no problemo :8 Happy Landings ;) |
Namaste VF
Your old Turbine blades look a little second hand on the leading edge, what do you do for things and spare like that, do you have to wait a long time or do you carry stores to cover such things, The past few days of your pictures have been the finest I have seen from you, you will be there for the rest of ya life, you would be bored if you went anywhere else....Happy landings VF Peter R-B Lancashire |
OK VF this is the perfect moment to get an AFS barrier filter and swap the C20J to a C20R. Soloy has promised a half price installation kit with the STC
|
VF, you just need to get the Lady VF`s nail files and get to work on the blades..good for another 500 hrs....!!:)
