Bad weather, mountains and helicopters don't go together well, do they? Have you made it back from Argentina yet?

Thread creep
 

To keep it cryptic and continue thread creep...
Yes.
19 out of 20 made it back.
Fingers crossed for the "one we left behind" in the hotel and cheers to a Brazilian pilot.
