Ice Road Truckers?

[727C47]

i used to park next to that C46 in LRD back in the early 90's when I was conning a DC3 into Mejico and the hot spots like Ciudad Victoria in the pursuit of aerial commerce. i love the Ice Pilots show,gives me Michigan winter flashbacks of trying to keep those round engines functioning without cracking every jug due to the extreme cold. i remember one day when it was negative 40F at 4000 feet ,heading Toronto-PTk,the only time I ever pulled a contrail in a DC3 !

This is a really cool show.

Wow. That's arrogance right there!

I think a lot of 135 cargo guys could be trained to do that kind of work, particularly those who have flown SP in the northern states. I don't know enough about the 121 world to venture a guess as to whether thay could "handle it" or not.

I don't think it was a slam on the American freight dog. More like the button pushing rj wonder kids.

I would put my round engined freight guys and girls DC-3/CV340/DC4 circa 87-99,out of the PTK/YIP dojo in any clime and place and they would excel,heck we had 3's in Alaska on contract, and many forays into the Mejican Sierra Madre,God's grace we have all lived to embellish the tales.

And what did you call yourself when you started flying, there Captain?

 

[Pattern-Master]

I will never again complain about my current flying job after seeing a few of these episodes. Looks like some fun but tough flying job. They should put some Embry Riddle morons up there and see how long they would last, it would make for some entertaining T.V.

 

[727C47]

my round engine freight flying has been some of the purest and the most fun of my entire career, old Joe McBryan has been embodied in a few owners I have known,tough ,crusty,but straight shooters,and great sticks in their own right. This show captures the non sched life just about perfectly,I hope they show it in the states some day,I hope they film another season.

... I hope they film another season.

From what I understand, the producers are currently up at Buffalo Airways filming season two.
