sheesh. Taking trolling lessons are you? DDT wasn't used on flies. It was used for agriculture. The only thing it ever affected was birds and now it`s all through the food chain and is accumulating in people too. I don't know if it's harmful or how concetnrated it is, but it's in mother's breast milk now.

Oh wait - that was a joke, wasn't it. :oops:

Rob,

I do not know about how it was used in Canada BUT it was used in USA to kill insects.

I was watching many different news about bed bugs and the reporters asked experts how and why bed bugs came back to existence now when being extinct in 1950s. The experts said that DDT killed all bedbugs in 1950s and when America decided to ban DDT products due to health hazard, hence bed bugs making comeback now in America and they cannot use DDT to kill them now. So they decided to kill eggs and waited for bedbugs to die from old ripe age as they had short life span.

Yes, true enough, agriculture and household pests, and lice too. But not for flies. We had bighting flies in Canada before they discovered DDT and we still do and we always will. So if you go camping and you don't get bit by gnats, sand flies, black flies, mosquitoes, deer flies, horse flies, or stables flies, consider yourself very lucky, or in a city park. :wink:

Back on the original topic, those are great shots. That Twotter landing in the snow is AWESOME. Wish you had a video of that... Must have looked pretty freaky from the left seat! :lol:

Thanks for sharing!

Question, Why don't 40/40/40 apply to the Twin otter?
Also, nice shots! :mrgreen:
