Nick is awesome ! I just love how he diplomatically justifies the past attacks on Bell by stating it was all pure fact ! Now that's a believable man !!

The CEO of Bell hired Nick for good reasons....and they will certainly benefit from his being there.

If you ever get the opportunity to hear a presentation by Nick or just have an informal chat with him....the one thing that will stay with you is his absolute passion for helicopters and the helicopter industry and most importantly the people who make the industry what it is.

SAS is exactly right. Nick is the Steve Irwin of rotorcraft!

Because they could not compete with this?

....and they will certainly benefit from his being there.
They've done this to our Nick?

...couldn't possibly happen to a nicer, more knowledgeable, enthusiastic or talented guy. first met him long ago and far away when he was a demo/test pilot at sikorsky and i was shooting the B model prototype at sunrise near jupiter inlet. i asked him to put the sun behind the B and this is what he gave me:



...bottom line, if he can make a clueless hack like me look good...
