Great pictures!

I cant wait to start my new job de-icing planes there in Anchorage. I think FedEx is one of the companies we de-ice.

That's awesome. Now I see the EFVS camera between 1-2oclock from the center of the nose cone... How much does the camera lower their takeoff minimums?

It doesn't. It is only certified on our aircraft to allow CAT I approaches to be continued below DA, to 100 ft HAT....svs is next.
