I recieved an email from Steve, a south african who owns a Cheetah and uses it for photography there.  I thought it was very good information as it pertains to safety and really thinking about our decisions when faced with a situation.  I have included it in it's entirety.  I hope you find it useful. .

Greetings Jon,

I gather you are well and productively promoting Cheetahs. Your Christmas eve newsletter is well received and with thanks. I was somewhat drawn to the pic of the snow, its because its something we don’t even conceive of here in sunny South Africa.

I did however have a recent “weather” related experience which you may be interested in reading.

Our world has a way of periodically measuring us, by throwing occasional curved balls and I figured that as an aviator, you’d be interested in my ‘test’ of late November.
