Ice Pilots

[Barthe Hogenboom]

:hi:

I had I pleasant surprise yesterday browsing through the channels of my sat receiver. I discovered the channel ZDF Info just some months ago. The programs are mainly from History Channel but this channel is free(to-air). It has a lot of nice history programs but a bit too much WW2 stuff to my taste. But yesterday I saw a show called "Ice Pilots". It's comparable to "Flying Wild Alaska"on Discovery but with really old aircraft like the C-46 and without commercials. You can see museum pieces being flown to their limits in the Arctic. Very exiting to watch.

Wikipedia article about it. It's originally a History Channel program so I think a lot of Air-Child members can watch it on one channel or another if they want to.

I just thought I let you know.

Ah, nice one. :yes: :thx:

Did you see that steep approach they did with the C-46? I didn't know that was possible. It's also the angle of the camera of course but it looks like they almost descent in a 90 degree angle with half the runway already behind them...and still land safely. The aircraft almost scrape the roofs here at home before they land several km away at EHAM. :lol:
