    @A330driver I heard that spot was pretty remote Siberia.
    I read somewhere that the bush pilots in Alaska used to keep small branches of fur tree in there planes.
    They would throw these out the window in white out conditions when wanting to land to find out where the ground was up on the tundra.
    Makes sense if you can't spot exactly where the ground is. Think it was while polar bear hunting.
    I'll try and find the reference.
    You must have some pretty neat photos from working up there
    It's all fun and games till Darthvader comes along
    I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.
