I recall a fellow named John Tanigawa, who was called "Frosty" due to there being a "Nip" in the air.
I remember John had a peculiar way of hunkering down in the seat of a 212 with his arse at the very front of the seat sling. He was barely able to see over the middle of the coaming and often preferred to fly steep approaches by looking through the chin panels. Something to do with his experiences of flying the 205 in a faraway place to the East where he wasn't warmly welcomed by the locals, IIRC.
