Winter has arrived

Well, Fall is gone away and old man winter has arrived in SLC. We began our first day at deicing at the SLC airport for most of the flights on Sunday morning. This is part of the job that I get to get into a warm truck/or enclosed bucket and spray de-icing fluid all over the wings and tails of outgoing aircraft. It is getting into a small cage or box on a lift truck and using the lift to get above the planes to spray off snow,ice, frost so the airplane can fly. The lift goes about 75 to 80 feet in the air to get above our bigger aircraft. It is like playing a video game shooting de-icing fluid out of a very powerful canon. It is almost as much fun as driving the planes on the ramp.
