    This is bittersweet. Arnie and Kelly were my favorites on Ice Pilots NWT. Now I just learned that both are gone, so sad to know they are no longer with us. They both were such great human beings. May their memory be eternal.

      I spent part of my childhood growing up in Brooklyn NY between 2 major airports (KJFK (formerly Idlewild / New York Airport) and KLGA (LaGuardia)). Back in the late 1950s and early 1960s I saw (and heard) many old piston airliners rumbling overhead. A lot of Lockheed Constellations, DC6's DC4's, DC3's, Stratocruisers, etc.I also remember one dismal, overcast, snowy day in December hearing the thunderous BOOM of a DC8 jet airliner as it crashed into the streets of Park Slope Brooklyn after colliding in midair with a LaGuardia bound Constellation. It was a tragic day. During the mid 1960s I saw fewer and fewer vintage propliners as most of the airlines transitioned to jet airliners. These days a vintage propliner is a rare sight around these parts, unless there is an airshow taking place nearby.

    Totally agree with Jeremy here. If anything she should have to work harder to prove herself. I've been in law enforcement for 36 years and trust me, it was anything but easy. Once they realized I was not going to ask for or expect anything I didn't earn then I was treated exactly as I should be, but this really disappointed me. I'm not saying this was right but I wasn't going to change my ways for anyone and I didn't have to.

    I first discovered Buffalo Airways in a rather unusual unorthodox way. I am an avid flight simulator pilot and one day I flew a Lockheed Constellation into Canada and I landed at Yellowknife. As I taxied onto the ramp there it was. The Buffalo Airways terminal in all it's glory. . The people who created the scenery included the Buffalo terminal. When I saw it I wondered if such an airline actually exists. So I did a google search and low and behold, I learned that it is actually a real airline that operates up in Canada's far north. From there I discovered the "Ice Pilots" series.

    Male Pilots hoping to make the jump from Rampie to Co-Pilot don't stand a chance because the Boss prefers the Women, if that situation was reserved there would've been Feminists shouting from the Roof Tops & that Audrey doesn't mind who she steps on to get in the pilot's Seat.
