May 8, 201214 yr For those of you who had interest in the series Ice Pilots you may wish to know that Arnie Schreder , the former Chief Pilot at Buffalo airways died on Saturday morning from pneumonia after a fight with Lung Cancer. Always seemed like a cool guy, so just though y'all should know... R.I.P Rónán O Cadhain.
May 8, 201214 yr Wow. Just last night, I watched the episode, where he put the DC 3 down on a homemade sand runway. A real cool, laidback pilot. RIP.
May 8, 201214 yr Very sad, quite a bit to tragedy in his family recenty with both himself and his daugher stricken with cancer. I believe his daughter is ok. my favourite episode with Arnie was when the simulated the dam bombings in WWII. Very risky manouver that Arnie pulled of to perfection. RIP. Mark CYYZ
May 8, 201214 yr Sad news indeed RIP Arnie. All due I am sure to the deadly infernal tobacco habit. When will we learn?
May 9, 201214 yr Very sad indeed , Arnie was a pretty cool and down to earth guy, will miss his banter on Icepilots :(
May 9, 201214 yr Author Boy I really seem to be the bearer of bad news of late, but just got word from work that Captain Denny Fitch, the pilot that help the UA232 DC-10 land in the Souix City disaster passed away there. I'm sure many of you will remember him from the episode of Seconds from disaster featuring this particular accident. He saved many lives so I thought it appropriate to post this here....

May 9, 201214 yr Strange, I have only his minute finished watching the first episode of Ice Pilots. What a fantastic series, and what great sadness to hear about Arnie.

May 10, 201214 yr Commercial Member Sad to seem him go. He seemed to be one of the few sane and happy people in Canadian aviation over the age of 30. B. York FS2Crew Web Site / FS2Crew Facebook Page / FS2Crew Discord
