It has been great, and the tax cuts are actually doing much good for the economy … imagine that Obama.

The discovery channel suggested that they would like a “Bush Pilot” show a couple of years ago. The private contractor filming companies then go out on a shoe string and shoot a bunch of footage and supply it to Discovery. (I think it was Discovery). Anyways, one of these contracting companies contacted me and we spent a couple days out getting footage. I was hopeful that it would go, and it would give the blog a big boost, but in the end a different contractor got the deal and I never heard from them again. After seeing the previews I’m sort of thankful because it looks like another typical Hollywood “reality” show that is so far from the truth it’s embarrassing. But I bet it will be entertaining with all the drama they invent.

I am looking forward to watching it but it would be more fun if the series was around Blue Ice Aviation.

Palins AK
Gold Rush.. A show about a lower 48 bunch that stake a claim
Ice Truckers
A new show about a family that runs a small air “Taxi” business. It starts next week and looks really good.
All the AK promotion should be good for your business.
