Thinking more about the 'career snow' that you would have encountered in the
Argus. Our Orion crews rarely see _very_ cold weather, except when
gong way down south along the Antarctic coast and on rotations to the
northern hemisphere.


Still, I suppose flying into a white out is similar to flying at night - if
you're prepared (and trained) for it.

Soft red earth may as well be granite in the wrong circumstances.

| Why blame us? hell the 'triangle' is ~800 miles south of us here.

Only kidding Gord - the automatic ;-) should have deployed here.




| Makes sense to me.
