Is the traffic that bad in Nepal that you have to fit a bumber bar on the front... ![Bad teeth](https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies/badteeth.gif)
Seriously though, what's it for?
The mirror bars I've had on my squirrels for slinging were quite different, thus the question....

@VF: Mate, your pictures are absolutely fantastic! and as expressed before I am very jealous! You do an awesome job! Well done.. Thanks for the pictures too I really enjoy seeing them..
I do have a couple of silly questions,
1. At the heights you work at, are there Oxygen requirements, issues?
2. You pick up 5/6 people at those high altitudes, how much fuel do you carry?
3. The performance of your helicopters seems amazing, I am amazed it picks up all those people at that height, do you ever just run out of power?
I would really like to see some pictures of Everest you have taken, what's the highest you have been up too?
I was at 12,000' and found that bloody spooky!!
Please keep the pics coming..
Fly safe!
