Aesir,

My reply was meant in fun and please take it for that.....

but yes, we do operate in "Real Ice" and lets be honest, who really wants to operate in ice givin a choice. The de-ice gear will be installed on our a/c within the next month and will not be removed again until April, in the time frame we could not complete our jobs here safely and effectively without it.

Does it work...very very well.

The only other group of drivers i know that fly in more ice then us (amount and frequency) is the Icelandic Coast Guard. Talked to some of their drivers at the sim just last year and it was suprising how much more they will operate in, with little to no problems.


Although,
The tropics is much more appealing then the cold north atlantic at night in January with 60+ knots of wind.........know of any jobs?
