What a Beautiful metis girl on that show. Whats her name? I may have to make my up that way for a visit Her Marshalling skills need a bit of work haha. Great show so far.

Has he done something to make you say that?
Yeah, the episode where he was flying "VFR" in the bottom of the clouds with zero forward visibility. Then the kicker was that he said that it's better to do that because if you keep going lower because of cloud you'll eventually hit the ground
I realise that if you fly in alaska then VFR-into-IMC is probably a fact of life, but his boss seems to have a slightly safer attitude (and he's been around long enough to show that he's probably doing something right
Saw the two shows last night, it's got Ice Pilots beat hands down. The COO seems pretty classy giving the youth a chance at a job(pilot) if they want to put in the hard work and studying.Especially in a troubled community where unemployment is pretty high. It's good to see that in our small aviation family. Great show.

It's an alright show with the made for TV over dramatized crap that most shows like that have, and the ramp chick/daughter is hot and funny. "I'm not a very good eskimo, I hate the cold"

I refuse to go bungee jumping... I came into this world because of a broken rubber, I'm not leaving because of one
Both daughters look Hot. No dramatics the COO lands his 185 on a gravel bar on a river gets out unloads then passes up and down the gravel bar to see if he has enough gravel to get out. I wonder if all there pilots fly like that. Land then worry about if you can takeoff.

Agreed. She's completely adorable. The really funny part that had my girlfriend and I laughing our asses off is that she was on an early episode of "Wipeout". They called her Ariel "never been kissed" Tweto. Then she came back on the fan favourites episode and they asked her if she'd kissed a boy yet? Her reply was hysterical. Hard to see her cry though.

Very cute girl indeed......If they added a DC-3 or a B18 to the fleet, it would be totally euphoric for me
It seems like they are running the 207 IFR, I'm assuming in the US they don't have the rules where only a pt-6 can run a single engine aircraft IFR commercially?

I didn't make the connection until you brought that up, I do remember seeing her on Wipeout
+1 to your last sentence. She holds it together fairly well but Its definitely tough for some to be in a situation like that. I used to work security where we monitored not for profit inuit housing. It was pretty rough to see some of what we saw there. The housing units we monitored were the only sites where we had authority to enter the individual apartments by force if we needed to
What do you think of that "Alley Oop" and his wife living in the middle of nowhere? I mean c'mon...250 miles from the nearest highway. Oh yeah...that sounds really good! And, what's with all of the raw meet hanging out? Why is it not turning into a grisly bear's picnic?
I am enjoying the show from the standpoint that it has made me appreciate flying in civilization.
I have such fond memories of Deadhorse............minus 46 with a 40 kt wind from the North. And that was the one of the better flights we did.................
Flying in the North/Bush is much more enjoyable then flying "in civilization".
How often can you pull over wherever you feel like it and fish for a few hours on a lake that has probably never been fished on while you wait for the clients.

You guys have to be kidding me... This is the worst show in the history of TV. Am I the only one who thinks it makes pilots look stupid? The public watches shows like this and thinks this is real.
All the over dramatization aside. I love it. Love the shots from the helm, the air to airs, the cameras on the fusalage, tail, landing gear.....all of it. Just feeds the need to see cool planes, sweet landing strips, the bush and everything aviation when I am not doing it.

If a pilot walked into a forest and had to make a decision, and no one from AVCANADA was there. Would the pilot still be wrong?

I'm not a huge TV fan partially because of unreal reality shows but this one has airplanes! Turn off the sound and put on some tunes if the way it's edited drives you crazy.

My thought exactly. And the trees, are they not a little too tall for being north of the Arctic Circle. I have only been past the line a couple times in the NWT and never in Alaska? The trees I saw were a little short compared to those ones on the show.
Another thing I loved was the routing they took to fly those explosives "just about within Russian airspace." Give me a break. I am sure they could of flown straight down the middle of Alaska missing built up communities by a wide margin. "You see any MiGs?"

Kowalski: Sir, we may be out of fuel.
Skipper: What makes you think that?
Kowalski: We've lost engine one, and engine two is no longer on fire.
And, what's with all of the raw meet hanging out? Why is it not turning into a grisly bear's picnic?
