Larry will still be using the ice road even after the first flight.I made the mistake of driving around the barriers and following him once,never again and i am glad i never had to follow him in an approach no wonder he took out the sachigo tower with his right engine :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

May 7 4pm and the car will go through the ice :wink: :wink:

May 30th... but I really hope not. Last year I seem to remember it was out the 3rd week of April. I don't think they put a car out on the ice anymore, so how about the ice is out when the first plane lands in Howey Bay?

Should not have posted that video. I'll bet there's a couple of a#*holes in an MNR truck heading there right now with a no-helmet ticket.
