Hi all;
Was in CHCH this morning on a charter, and heard the call sign "Ice 9", the aircraft was either an A319 or A318 (not too sure but it was certainly smaller than the A320), and carried a VH registration.
Just out of interest's sake, I was wondering if anybody had any idea what the aircraft is used for, also why Ice 9 as a call sign, as if you read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_9 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat%27s_Cradle
I do remember reading the book once, and was wondering if it was someone's tounge in cheek idea for a callsign.
