170B on the History Channel

Joe Moilanen · Post by **Joe Moilanen** » Tue Jun 27, 2006 5:24 am

I spent the weekend doing aerial video and infrared imaging for a program that will air next year on the History channel. It will be a 3 year series called "Science Meets Legend" and there will be 13 episodes a year. My 170 and I will probably be on one of the first episodes. We were looking for "Bigfoot" at night with thermal imaging cameras. Should be quite a bit of 170 stuff. I'll keep you all informed.

Nice! Finally some tv coverage of the 170 other than a Sky King episode.

The heck with the C-170 stuff. I can see them any time. What I want to know is did you find Bigfoot?

No, never did find Bigfoot. I'm going to Moose Creek, ID this weekend through the 4th if anyone happens to be in the area.

Hmmmn... I wonder if it's too late to get my dinner-cruise money refunded? What does Okopgo eat?

I saw on History Ch. recently that last century (20th century) a lake in So. Am. had a "Loch Ness" type creature and that British and American universities wanted to send biology/geology experts to study/look for it... but some private individual wanted to make money on the matter himself so went out into the lake and started depth-charging/dynamiting the depths.... Of course, IF anything was down there, ... he killed it... it's never been seen again.

On the subject of publicity, has anyone seen the latest 170 news cover in AOPA PILOT? I haven't read the article yet but it looks pretty cool.

I've heard his diet is exclsuively curmudgeonly old forum moderators. No wonder he hardly surfaces; that cast iron stomach must keep him on the bottom...

Is that his tongue, or the remains of a certain red airplane....
