I would love for a chance to fly up on the slope.

I don't know who has the ice contracts now but I know they are still going on. I highly recommend the experience, polar ice flying is a surreal experience on several levels.

I's like to do a season down south in Antarctica at some point.

Probably the most beautiful sight I've every seen was in Deadhorse. There were ice crystals in the air and above every light there were these spires of light that went up several thousand feet. Amazing.

Airhoss and USMCFLYR.

So I looked up "irony" in the dictionary and found a picture of you guys.

Thanks to ya both for an odd, but interesting view on this profession.
