NZ Frost fighting/air display

Fantastic aerobatic display from a 44 in Blenheim this morning. Just West of Renwick. Must have been touching a good 25 knots, 120+ feet agl, with a nicely balanced and conservative spray turn at each end.

OK, so he gave us a bit of light entertainment, and took my mind of my freezing touche, but it's half the reason the chardonnay is more expensive this year. Toss@r.

So why would he be so called a toss@r then?
If your touche was freezing then, why didn't you turn the heater up?

If I was flying a R44....I would try to keep a pretty low profile.
Kinda like having a fat chick....no doupt fun but you wouldn't want your mates to see.
