...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 that.

They made that look awful easy...

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.

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.
