6. Wow. Those mountain pilots are a dufferent breed. There was a pilot from the Nepalese Airforce who

had to save people somewhere on Mt. Everest. He could not stay up in the air in his helicopter with the air so thin so he flew down and removed some seats and flew back up and did the rescue.

I had a summer job on top of a mountain in Banff National Park. A helicopter pilot was delivering something. He was right by the Tea House hovering. Some stupid guest on the deck grabbed his daughter and held her up so she could see over the railing. He was a fool. One gust and the helicopter could be on them with his roter. I grabbed the man's collar i think and made them both go inside the teahouse. For sure i got a big thumbs up from the pilot. Others asked him how he became a pilot and he said he was lucky or unlucky enough to have his numbers come up during Vietnam. Different breed. That victim today was in good hands.
