IceBox

The IceBox is a portable air conditioning system, for your car, boat or airplane.

For Pilots: No more flying in a scorching hot cabin! Turn ON the IceBox during preflight and cool your cabin down before engine start. Jump in and experience a comfortable taxi and departure to a cooler altitude. Enjoy hours of IceBox cooling power and control your comfort with the Wireless Remote (Pump and Fan controls). TIP: During cruise flight, Turn OFF the water pump at altitude with the included 2x button Wireless Remote to sustain the longest A/C possible. In Cruise Flight Mode -- Keep the fan running to push cooler air through the cabin

We're getting some more write-ups on the dog rescue missions we fly, and how we use the IceBox to precool the plane down for the animals.

To support the community of pilots working on these missions together, we'll donate $15 from each order to Pilot n Paws, a fundraiser this month for a good cause
