(TheDrinksBusiness) - A quick thinking airline pilot used six bottles of whisky to de-ice the wings of his plane when he was grounded in Spain.
The captain of the Scandinavian Airline System (SAS) was grounded in Alicante thanks to ice on the wings of his plane which ground crew at the airport were unable to remove because no de-icing equipment was available.
Determined not to be delayed getting to his destination in Norway, the captain took six bottles of whisky from the drinks trolley and poured three over each wing solving the problem.
