Oh yeah. Did my time in the north country. To anyone interested in getting on and doing that flying: That area will eat your lunch, but it's amazing experience. I loved the challenge up there; you really have to think on your feet during weather days. Coming into RUT, SLK, or LEB, you're working off hour-old weather information, and more often than not you're the only guy trying to get in. Just have to press ahead and see what there is to see, and make sure to have plans B through F sorted out in your head. Oh, and try not to scare the 9 people behind you in the process.
Loved it, but the 14+ hour days were starting to wear on me. I
highly recommend doing a season up there, though.
