Was still plenty of light when I went by Gerry's place...could still read the maps at the border....worst part was the lightning storm hitting Wpg airport when I was landing. I could have stayed in Rennie if I was getting worried...lots of friends out that way...

Just checked my log book...I bought my night training at Vega Heli in Jan 1983. No one was going to do it so I did it myself...When I was out in Manitoba a few years ago I did 4 trips into town late in the evenings for maintenance....first time I remember the engineers at the hangar said...I see you are now current again for night flights...landed at 1015 Pm .
