Well done Nichol - you actually earned it your first time out there but it got lost in the noise!
As to Nichol coming to the light blue - what would you do? Go back to flying robin reliants that the customer takes as a last choice (not through people but through capability) or come across and continue the outstanding work in an aircraft and Joint team that is actually doing something.
I hope that he stays with us - but I would say that to 90% of the Junglies that I have worked with over the years.
Big respect Nichol and to the rest of your guys that were part of the team.
