First on the ice runway both deployments and last off the soft ice runway both deployments. Some rotten weather but then again I learned how to make a radar approach using the a/c radar and the 55 gallon drums planted on the ice lined up with the ice runway. I had an enjoyable tour.

I hope your flight was memorable and the landing was soft. Mr. Prevento,
