DO NOT put "dry ice" in your plane.I know of a DC8 cargo crew who have 
been poisoned by dry ice which was in boxes containing fishes . This 
happened,by chance,if we can say,when taxying,in a cockpit well 
ventilated by the aircraft's air conditioning .They returned to the 
apron and they were taken to the hospital .Imagine if they have been 
airborn!!!
