Aircraft Heater Failure and Flight Conditions

The video follows Cory and Randy's journey from Alaska to Russia in a Cheyenne aircraft. Despite the plane's history of issues, they manage to travel over 1,800 miles. They face extreme cold, requiring fixes to the cockpit and windshield heaters. In Russia, they prepare for departure without hangers or deicing fluid, using a heater truck to warm the engines.
