Winter Weather Ops: De-Icing, Delays, and the Science of Staying Airborn
Description
Tom & Mike are back in the cockpit for Episode 44 of the Black Box Aviation Podcast! We kick things off with a spooky recap of last week’s Halloween Spooktacular, featuring eerie listener stories — including one from a haunted hospital that’ll send chills down your spine.
Then, we shift gears from ghosts to gusts, diving into the realities of winter flying. From the frosty ramps of Anchorage to de-icing disasters in Brunswick, we’ll break down how pilots handle snow, ice, and holdover times when the weather turns wicked.
Plus, we talk about next year’s Spooktacular ideas (Haunted Hotels, anyone?), listener shoutouts, and some behind-the-scenes outtakes from the show.
