One of my earliest childhood memories is flying over the great Aletsch glacier in the Swiss Alps in an SA-319. Been hooked on helos ever since - or as the great Leonardo da Vinci is believed to have said: "For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
Still can't believe I turned out to be PIC...
Happy New Year to everyone and many happy landings in 2016!
