Hello Madbob
I was asking out of personal interest as I'd only flown to 20,500' over passes & clouds. Use-full take-off & landing height in these high DA's is around 16,000' :mad: but now with camera & operator ventured to 22,000' & into the Khumb :eek:
-------------------------------------
Hello nuthin
Thanks Broh, yaaar here 20,000' is the valley floor in many places, like the Khumb :ouch: a stripped down ultra light Jettie with a C20R or a Kiwi enhanced C20BorJ could open up most base camps in this country around 18-19,000' :=
-------------------------------------
Hello HowlingMad Murdock
Thanks Brother.... Oow all righty then You can use, just credit it to me ;)
Om Shanti Shanti Shanti literal synopsis is Aum - the sound of Creation, God & the Universe :ok: Shanti - Peace, Peace, Peace :)

:* How'd that leak out :E Yaar guilty as charged t'was I Your Honor pumpin' out a mountain flight :p
-------------------------------------
Happy Happy Landings everytime :D

That gave me goosebumps. Just wish it showed the trademark "skids aligned with something" landing!

Hello Peter3127
Hmmmmmm gbumps? nothing but Goat tracks & random rocks there for alignment ain't much to go on :yuk: :sad:

Cheers :)

Namaste VF

Wow that Everest Breakfast bar sure beats the joints I can find down here near to S/L, nearest view to compete with that is the Hodder Valley from the Inn @ Whitewell with the mountains being.... say er about 1000ft, you have boulders bigger than that.

Stay Safe my friend

"beer & dead chicken up, live humans & gear down :{ :ooh:"

VF, why did you have to kill the chook, did he have trouble with the seat belt or try to drink too much of the beer?

Hey Peter-RB
Hehehehe goodonya Peter :ok: Stay Safe always Brother :)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey Gemini Twin
Brother emotionally I always have trouble transporting any dead Animals for Human consumption as I am a Vegetarian, so would prefer to leave the meat behind but then then customer might beat me to death :eek: As for the beer; that's to quench my thirst enroute :suspect:

Cheers to Life :cool:

Happy Landings :D

Mountain Flying Lesson

1. What is the ASI (air speed indicator) for? :confused:
2. How should it be used & why? :ooh:

I don't mean to hijack your thread my friend but this shows just what an amazing place you live and work in ;

I would love to visit the town of Lukla, spend a few weeks there, take in the atmosphere and get to know the people.

I imagine that it is a very safe and friendly place with no crime and I assume that the people there are fairly wealthy by Nepalese standards.

Take care and good flying :)

Work with WoW factor
