Thank you Johnny F@rt Pants for putting some perspective on this Christmas's airport non-story. Love the username by the way. With a name like that I'm slightly surprised you couldn't de-ice your 737-800 yourself using the..ahem..."reverse cycle rear mounted afterburner method"
Excellent - had the same thoughts myself but couldn't think of the technical term. And didn't think of the sprouts angle either.
Perhaps LN-KGL with his intimate knowledge of winter ops equipment could advise if such a thing exists?
And if not, johnny and Logohu could go into business. I know of a few fine sources of such gas and hot air.
