In the last May, Cold United announced about 2010 Arctic Aviation Expert Conference that eventually took place on October 12-13 in Fairbanks, Alaska/USA. Arranged and hosted by the Institute of the North.

The 2010 Arctic Aviation Expert Conference in Fairbanks provided a valuable platform for experts and stakeholders from across the Arctic to come together and forge new relationships. The energy and enthusiasm throughout demonstrated the importance of increased communication and collaboration.

This time Arctic aviators paid much attention to climate changes. The word “change” was the most popular in discussions and presentations. Participants could hear often such phrases as adaptations to cold and changing climates, impacts of climate change, new products for aviation in a changing climate, changing Arctic, our changing home and so on.

They do not reveal any proposals about ways to stop global warming (i.e. climate changes) or calculate the effect of global warming. They just need to know how to operate in the current Arctic conditions, as they admit the Arctic warming on default.

Further, please, find the list of conference speakers, their reports and links for downloading all presentations in the PDF format.

Are you interested to know how climate changes affected the Arctic and what aviators should do?

Ice Pilots NWT is back on air!

On 09.20.10, In aviation, TV, By Bolot

Well, Ice Pilots NTW is back on air! The Season 1 repeats on every Tuesday and Sunday on History Channel. The ancient Goony Bird still works. Besides, in summer 2010, as the official TV Show website IcePilots.com reports, Buffalo’s plane took part in the 75th anniversary celebration of Douglas DC-3 and C-47 aircrafts in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. It was the largest gathering of workhorse aircrafts in 60 years.

About Ice Pilots NTW

Renegade Arctic airline Buffalo Airways defies the freezing cold and the competition by using resilient WWII-era propeller planes to fly vital fuel, supplies and passengers to remote outposts all over the Canadian North. Rookie pilots with nerves of steel come from across the country to Yellowknife to receive training from the very best and for the chance to earn their wings flying powerful vintage planes originally built for war. From landing essential cargo onto airstrips at mine sites to carving out runways on frozen lakes and rocky tundra, the Ice Pilots do it all, despite frequent blizzards and breakdowns.
