...in a helicopter.

Pretty amazing that a helicopter could get up that high.

Some have contended that the copter didn't reach the summit, but this guy refutes (http://www.mounteverest.net/news.php?id=161)that.

That was cool.

Speaking of things flying that high, just last night I was was watching the documentary channel. It had a cool film about bar-headed geese. They fly over the summit of Mt. Everest during their migratory route.

Amazing that those birds can fly that high.

I wonder what kind of shotgun shells you would need to hit them. From the ground.

Do they make 1 gauge?

You'd just need to pack them with some more powder and throw a 348,000" barrel on the shotgun. You'd probably need a bipod too.

You could probably get them with a standard full choke 12 w/ bird shot. You just have to be somewhere near the summit when they fly over.
