Hey Arctic!
It ocurred to me that us dudes down here in the "lower 48" usually have a background of trees, grass, water and in the worst case scenario, bare trees and brown leaves on the ground in Autumn. If you are in Alaska and have snow, ice, fog, and all kinds of white backgrounds, white rotor blades aren't going to be very visible to you!!
What's the landscape look like up there from season to season??
Hopefully, we all share some of the great blue sky!
Just a thought,
Russ
