Monday was spent traveling to Greenbuild 2007 in Chicago. The flight from Duluth and Minneapolis was interesting because the weather conditions were perfect for icing. The aircraft was a Saab SF-340, which is propeller driven, but seems to be well suited for ice - short stiff wings, lots of visible deicing boots. I think I watched from 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch of ice form as we neared Minneapolis. The ice flying off the propellers hitting the fuselage kept up a rat a tat tat for the last 30 minutes of the flight.
Multiple delays on the flight from Minneapolis to Chicago - but here I am staying at the Swissotel with a room view out over the Navy Pier. Last night I ran into Leighton Deer, my counter part at HGA and we had a nice conversation about the state of sustainability at our respective firms.
