Steve,
Only I know you'd land and take off with your eyes closed in that niiiiiice bird on top of a 20k' mountain. Sadly there were nobody to rescue that day and Nepal was more than a fuel tank away... If I remember correctly, you were more interested in radio range to chat up your mate that day!
Myself, I prefer cruising in my sleek rotating iron machine around 9-10k' coupled up, feet up, but also with my eyes closed!
Cold you say? Man, minimal exposure will kill you... Been a while for me and not really missing it.
Enough about that. This is a photo thread. Photos anyone???
