That's what I am figuring. I notice the name has changed from the last map I looked at. And Cindy overtook someone at the end for awhile, but now has the red lantern again.

Yes, green is lead.

Thanks. He must be experienced for sure.

Experience, luck, and most of all, good dogs. You need all of that stuff -- not mention the weather factor.

Interesting video. Nepal @ 10,000 ft with a short runway. This is the town (Lukla) that serves the people climbing Mt Everest. Suspect Cindy has flown in and out of here….

Looks like Jeff King is getting pretty close to the finish! Cool video, too.... the planes look like toys! Which of course they aren't. Interesting name for an airline, too.
