Angel Cheers to Life

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' but now with camera & operator ventured to 22,000' & into the Khumb
-------------------------------------
Hello nuthin
Thanks Broh, yaaar here 20,000' is the valley floor in many places, like the Khumb 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 Shanti - Peace, Peace, Peace
-------------------------------------
Hello belly tank
Nope I don't know what the highest a JetBox has been working.......but I'd Love to know
-------------------------------------
Hello SuperF
Maybe, probably rightly so if that number is below X'
-------------------------------------
Hello gcpilot8
Yes ManangAir has 1 new B3e & in a month get their 2nd new B3e Simrik's 2 x Bk117's were sadly dismantled & shipped back to NZ from whence they came from & returned to where they may be much more useful, hmm almost 1 year back
How'd that leak out Yaar guilty as charged t'was I Your Honor pumpin' out a mountain flight
-------------------------------------
Happy Happy Landings everytime

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

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 "


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?

Angel Coffee time

Hey Peter-RB
Hehehehe goodonya Peter 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 As for the beer; that's to quench my thirst enroute
------------------------------------------------------------------
Cheers to Life

Happy Landings

Lukla

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
