Hello all,

Anybody who wants to see a Herc doing the really tough stuff without getting shot at has to watch this.
This is a sched from our local PBS station but it should be available on any PBS channel.
The show is titled "Ice Pilots".

http://www.kcts.org/search.asp?txtSearch=ice+pilots&Data=&Adv=&Order=&Page=

One hour of LC-130's and their crews at work.
JATO (actually RATO) takeoffs on skis and all kinds of scary stuff.
Not for the faint of heart when it comes to navigation, IMC flight, takeoffs, landings and plain old friggin' cold.
Well worth the watch for any Herc fan that likes extremes.
Later,

Dave
