Here

|
|

high up in the Swiss mountains... |
|
...
very capable of working in the snow. |
|
|
|
Flying
sharp between the trees... |
|
...
pilots know exactly how far they can go. |

The
Lama is extremely good at high altitudes |

winter season and a lot of work... |

He
likes to be of help with Air Zermatt... |

and he flies in his holidays (!) |
|
|

to give victims first aid, and he does this, |
|
while

We
know him as an extremely dedicated man... |
