Nexi & me having a showdown.

I like this picture because it represents a significant step in learning to fly helis; Nose-in hover, harder than it looks!

Late Fall of 1998. I had to to go to Ottawa for training, Don Dow invited me to fly with him in Nepean Ontario (near Ottawa).
Very windy, quite cold but still a great time. Thanks Don!

Notice the trees still showing signs of the ice storm last year.
