Winter ops in the Arctic -35 deg or less, stupidly strong winds and 24hr darkness. Pretty harsh. If you are going to fly around in poor weather, learn to use instruments to get yourself out of the **** and never lose your back door.
Well said Steve76.
Sometimes (a lot of the time) people don't realize the work which goes on
all year around in the arctic circle areas from Russia, across Scandinavia, Greenland, Canada and Alaska. The conditions are also extreme but most of the work goes on without any notice.
Still, we are very sad
about the French Squirrel. Does anyone know what on-board survival kit is placed in the Squirrels used in Antarctica for example if you have a techincal problem and have to land and wait?
