Does that include those tac air guys who fly up in Alaska, any of the northern states, Canada. Korea or Japan in the winter, or those fun dets to Norway?

Since we usually fly in flights of multiple aircraft - we do tend to try and AVOID the weather. I don't have much experience in ice at all. Luckily I have avoided most of it throughout my career. I know that if I get that flying job in the civvie world that flying into different kinds of weather more often will be a change - but I feel confident that I'll be able to handle it.
