BTDT, in a Lear descending into Baton Rouge after a flight in the high 30
flight levels. Mucho ice on the bottoms of the wings.


Thanks for that little story, Bob. You are the only person I have ever
heard report the same kind of occurence. I have been accused of lying, even
though it seems obvious that it will occur.


We pilots of Cessna tip-tank twins would support you too, Stan.
On ground after a high flight, the fuel level in the tip tanks is clearly evident.
Usually it's only condensation, but sometimes it can be clear ice.
