Yes, I know, ITS NOT REAL!

But its a very serene shot of DMs 1-11 blasting along between Anchorage and Fairbanks for a certain VA

That's a nice icy shot, Leif. It makes me shiver just to look at it. It reminds me of the time I very nearly got frostbite in Anchorage (blahblahblah....).

And the 1-11 looks resplendent in your livery, even if long way from home. Very nice indeed.

Thanks Ian

Funnily enough we were discussing the fact that as soon as you dial up Anchorage and start flying it immeadiatly drops the temprature in the room by 40 degrees

. A certain gent who is busy painting Vikings did the fleet colours for us - they do sort of look quite twee

And yes the 1-11s, Budgies and Grippers have wandered far far from home - even the Vanguards live in tropical climes. The light up there is kind of strange even in the middle of the day up there.....The guys who opted to fly from Barrow are doing ALL night flying at present
