I didn't remember which channel it was on but man, other than some of the normal hyped up personality stuff that all these shows seem to have, I love the airplanes and the "keep em flyin" mentality!
Not having cable, or dish in my case, would be a very sad thing. I live on documentary shows. Hardly ever watch "mainstream" TV, I only endure a few of them when BeerNazi is around. I truly can't believe sometimes that with the world in the state it's in, people spend so many hours watching people who can't really sing at a professional level, trying hard to be a star.. and all the rest of the you think you don't suck talent and living with whichever "star" family type shows....
Wayne,
I don't think you're spewing anything different than the rest of us think. It seemd like the top news story here in Tucson several days back was the "Voice" tryouts being in town.
I like Ice Pilots. Flying Wild Alaska is pretty good as well.
I agree with Sky Critter Wayne, these 'lack of talent shows' like trIDOL and noVoice are garbage.. and shows like Ice Pilots rocks, love watching it, seeing the -46's, DC's doing what they were designed for and the keep em flying mentality is awesome.. I love it that the crews have passion for their airplanes too, they love flying the birds

I live in the San Francisco area where we may get 5-10 nights in the entire winter where it will drop below freezing and that's only in the middle of the night. Hard to imagine what it's like to live in that cold, snow and ice. Summers must be nice but winters must be "God awful miserable." I don't want anything to do with it. I hate hot (above 75-80 F) and cold weather (below 50 F). I like it temperate, between 60-65 F seems just about right for me.
How do the radial piston engines on those planes like the freezing temperatures? Do they have a temperature that they do best at?
It's nice to see people working for a living. I think City, County, State and Federal workers should be required to watch this, on their own time of course, so they see how the rest of the world works and hopefully they'll follow and do likewise.
Boy...big dittos. Nowhere would you have found bigger supporter of SPEED TV...but they're into ALL Nascar All the time....or stupid reality-based garbage. NO NHRA...??? gotta be $$$'s arguments... Dancing w/the biggest American Idols just seems very wrong. Maybe Barnum & Bailey really were right.
How about the flyers w/ the C-180 & others?? Loved the sand-bar landings, etc.
Speed TV is playing the Australian V8 Supercar series, showing most rounds and highlights, and from 2013 when the Circut of Americas opens they wil hold a round there.. great series, GM vs Ford, RWD V8 saloons...

Speed TV is huge into F-1, Moto-GP, all the american super bikes, Aussie V8 supercars, yeah they do alot of nascar but there is a huge nascar following.
ESPN has the NHRA contract pretty much locked up, Indy Car seems to be ESPN and national networks from what I can tell.
