As a former freight dog, just want to give a shout out to the dogs of the night here.
All Hail....OOTSK!irate: :yar:
I don't think I've said it yet, so I'll say it in a forum I feel a part of...welcome back MikeD.
Man, do I miss flying freight!!! Good luck to all you freight dawgs out there!!!
You're preaching to the choir here. I did almost 2 years...C-208 mostly, but also BE-58 and PA-31.Thanks partner. It's good to be back in the game. Had to make sure I took care of my freight dogs here. Even with all the military flying I've done and am doing, Law Enforcement flying I'm now doing, etc; the freight flying I did in the C-207 to C-208 to PA-31-350 to SA-226 were my funnest years. How, you say? LE flying is ok. Military flying was neat in its own way. But with both, there was VERY little time where I could actually sit back and ENJOY the flying....much of it was actual work! With freight, it was all me, more or less on my own schedule of making the mission happen. And you couldn't beat going from place to place, big to small airports....the variety was endless. I could truly do what I wanted, so long as the freight got there when it needed to. Let me dig up some stories I wrote here before I left long ago that hammer that home.....

Actually, if you would take a recommendation...I believe I remember you doing a write-up a long time ago on icing, especially tail icing. I know everybody has the videos that have been on here recently, but it might not hurt for a review of the recovery from tailplane icing specifically, and general icing strategies, for the people new to the icing environment...just a suggestions.
Hey MikeD did you post on Jetphotos.net back in the day...
Haha thought so....Yes. I was author of the infamous "emoticons" thread in May 2003. Here:

You used to rile some folks up back in the day.
I used to be on there all the time with Katamarino and Clovis.
As I said gentlemen, you always come back to your roots, which is why this is my home forum section (besides the moderator section). In that vein, I'm reminded of this little story, to which I can now somewhat relate. It's so true:
