kalakoa:
I had an opportunity recently to talk to retired Indian military helicopter pilots who had experience in the Himalayan mountains flying troops and such during some altercations with Pakistan up to 7000 meters elevation.
One of them casually mentioned MK and asked the elevation, I told him it was about 4300 meters.
He then asked if they used helis to lift to the observatories. I half jokingly said "no can permit".
Maybe TomK knows if this was ever tried or considered?
