I really hate snow and cold weather. I left northern Michigan when I was 22. That was 40 years ago. I now live on the Gulf Coast. I get mad when the temperature goes below 60 degrees. In Michigan winter absolutely sucks. My Wife thinks snow and cold are pretty and refreshing.....She's from the Gulf Coast. I guarantee she would be damn tired of it after one week. Every damn day waking up to a frozen bluish tint, not seeing the sun for months, and dark at 4pm every day is awful. No green, no pretty colored flowers, just that same bluish tint to everything. The trees are black, the ground is white, and the sky is grey for months on end. I hate Michigan winters. Every dog and deer used to use my yard as a bathroom which stayed frozen all winter, when the spring thaw finally happened I had a couple hundred pounds of feces to clean up. I could go on but I won't. Michigan is a great place to spend a winter if you like waking up an hour early to shovel snow just to get your car out. If you like eating both breakfast and dinner when it is dark out you'll love it. Summers are wonderful, but when the leaves start to turn colors you know "Old Man Winter" is on his way. I think its terrible. I'm glad I left. I remember watching the birds leave in droves before winter set in. Even stupid birds knew to get the hell out of there before winter. I finally followed them.

I volunteered to deice the T tail on a C5A in 1970 at Rhein Main AFB, Frankfurt, Germany just to see how high up was on a cold winter night. I was a R4360 engine mechanic on C124's at that time, only did it once. We had a saying, Summer fell on a Tuesday this year, 1967-71

This reminds me of when I was stationed at KI Sawyer AFB (near Marquette MI) flying B-52’s during the winter months (our base averaged over 200” of snow a year with wind chill temperatures of -40). My body is beginning to shiver just thinking about it (lol).

Which chemicals are used for de-icing? Here in Sweden the chemicals used are certified for -33 centigrades but during the last week here with temp down to -45 the chemicals have not been allowed to use, so aircraft are grounded.

Seems Having no Sale Orders for F-35.

During wartime de-icing is a luxury they won't have time for. Aircraft may have to be placed in gigantic heated hangars.

Well the first half was on topic. Daily Aviation seems to not be able to produce a full video on topic.

Why not Minot?

Try Minot or Grand Forks AFB. Dover is not cold.

uhmmm, I'm not sure how to say this with tact so keep this in mind as I try: I.Y.A.M.Y.A.S! I went to the Air Force straight out of high school. My first assignment was Alaska, 3rd wiper on an E model dirty 30. As a crew chief I learned how to manage that airplane and every system on it. I learned how to handle myself in just about any situation you can think of (and some that you can't). I learned how to prep and aircraft for flight that might be carrying anything from explosives to 70 fully equipped combat ready troops. I went damn near everywhere that aircraft went, to places I still can't find on a map and to places filled with tourist, even places where we weren't allowed to wear uniforms. All the while I was being groomed to rise in the ranks, to become the supervisor training his replacement. In the Air Force like every branch of the military you are always expected to be moving up. A good crew chief is the epitome of what the Air Force is all about and without maintenance, a pilot is a person wearing a cool leather jacket, walking down the street. Any aircrew will tell you that, any commander will tell you that. In my 24 year Air Force career, I was a master crew chief, a performance rated flight engineer, a recruiter and a maintenance supervisor. My proudest memories are of the times I signed off on the maintenance records to release an aircraft for flight. The air crew won't take it until the crew chief says, "It's ready". That's what crew chiefs do. There is no higher honor.
