Safety: December 2007 Archives

Here's Skywest Airlines CRJ N432SW after spending the night of 10 December in an ice storm at Oklahoma City.

Normally looks like this.

The airline pilot who sent me this spent two hours and two truckloads de-icing, taxied out, and then taxied all the way back again as the freezing raing started up. Says he's never seen anything like it. More pix below

Some of you may be familiar with this guy, but I wasn't until he featured heavily in an article on aviation security in this weekend's Guardian magazine in the UK. Turns out he has a blog, which I'm going to add to the ultra-prestigious blogroll here on Unusual Attitude, and talks an awful lot of sense. He also has a nice sense of humour, as this lovely link concerning Playmobil and security shows.
