Tail Rotor safe, with a bitta Mountain training

Welcome back VF. Clearly flying "K5" etc was not up your alley.

I was in Tibet last week, lots of old AS350 "B" lying around, covered, and seemingly not flown. Bizarre. Maybe too expensive to fly.

So...what's the story ? Where are you now (Fishtail ?) and what are you doing (instructing ?).

Cheers,
Arrrj

Hey Arrrj....thanks Mate :ok: K5, what's a K5? :confused: WoW didn't know that about Tibet :eek: I know they (Tibet) just bought 2 brand new h125's for rescue works :ooh: Story is always moving on-wards & up-wards to healthier & adventurous pastures :cool: nope to FTA, though I was offered :ouch:

HappyHappy :p

Smile....................

Normality has returned, nice weather, breakfast with a cup of tea and the daily dose of VFs pictures! :)

Pick Me......Pick Me.......

Glad to see you back posting your pics, by far the best thread on PPRUNE

VF. Really glad to see you back, definately the best thread on pprune!
Just wondering how the 350B ( blue blades and all) performs at that
altitude.
safe flying
Claudia

Hallo VF (and all),

Nice Pics as always - but I suppose you are not currently working up there, are you? Because the pics seem all to be "old" ones from your early days. Am I right? Still they are worth to look at and admire your experience from up there.
Always happy landings😉

Morning twisted wrench.......thanks Brother :ok:

Hoy Claudia.........thanks Mate. Yep the ole B in extremes runs outa puff real quick, basically Your Nr limited. Rather than engine, as the donk remains happy in the green, pull up on the club & bingo, low rotor horn tells You - 'naughty..naughty' :eek: no different than flying any other Bird; 'keep her within limits & upright' ;)

Mountain highs..............

VF,

Not an aircraft...the person (or people) !

The locals refer to the two alive kings simply as K..and the number, in succession.

Cheers,
Arrrj

Ow thanks Arrrj....I learn something new everyday :cool:

K4 = Jigme Dorji Wangchuck (stepped aside for his son).

K5 = Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck

We all learn something every day...or we should flying helis !
