Photo: Unfreezing the Wing

There was a slight delay on the ground when I found myself flying to New Brunswick in November; after all, even in Vancouver it tends to get cold in winter, and to make sure the ailerons didn't freeze up during the middle of the flight and so on, YVR ran the plane through de-icing before we were allowed to leave. It's the first time I've had the chance to see it in operation, spraying deicing fluid down.
