A dangerous time to fly because it should be monsoon season about now. I was in the Himalayas in the post-monsoon season on a Cho Oyu climbing team. The beginning of the post-monsoon season was pretty treacherous in a truck due to torrential rain and landslides coming across roads.

Formerly the AS350 Ecureuil. Decent ‘copter, except it’s one of the few skid-type ‘copters that can experience ground resonance. Shakes itself to pieces and there’s nothing you can do but hold on until the ride ends.
