We weren't able to really ring it out cause of Swiss airspace
and low clouds and ceilings. Airspace there is much more

This picture is of Daniel Bättig, who's family hosted us and
made our visit the best vacation we could ever hope to have.
Daniel flies with me when they visit the U.S. And I have had
the honor of soloing both of his and Pia's sons. They are now
both licensed pilots and Tim the oldest is now a Swiss Military
Helicopter pilot.
