Ice 9?
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.

Wouldn't surprise me. They were talkin about sending our (soon to be combi-fit) 75's down after a few proving flights when I was down the ice a couple of years back. I dunno if they've actually done it yet though.... Would certainly beat the hell out of 7 hours in a herc, but the 5 hour C-17 trip wasn't soooo bad though.

It might be Skytrader's out of Sydney I think...
I thought they were going to fy Hobart to Casey Station with that aircraft...?
It originally was a Falcon 900 that was meant to be flying the route.. then it quickly became a A319... Suppose you dont have to worry too much about PNRs, it should have enough range to go down, have a look and come back.
