Helicopter on Everest--a bit more

Tom Brosz — 6/2/2005 5:59:54 PM (archived)

"Aviation Week" for May 30th has a detailed article on the helicopter touchdown (not flat enough for a full landing) on Everest. Not a free article online, unfortunately.

The helicopter had been stripped of unnecessary interior fittings, but had enough margin that it could have carried a passenger.

The helicopter will be on exhibit at the Paris Air Show.
