She's a tough cookie -- I'd be landing ASAP, to change my shorts.

:-)

I'm glad she made it, but her ADM sort of came into question in my head,
when after having gone through this frightening situation, she makes the
decision to continue (400NM) even though a pirep showed freezing levels at
even lower altitudes and the controller mentioned light rain along her route
of flight. Gotta admit when I got to that part I started wondering if it
was some (unbeknownst to you) some kind of internet prank/creation.

I thought she should have landed - inspected the plane (especially after
that controller mentioned he might be having trouble hearing her because of
ice on her antennae - I would wonder more about those chunks of ice that may
have broken off when she cycled the boots, whether a piece might of flown
back and bent/partially broke off her com. antennae)?

I dunno, I say, better safer than sorry OR dead..
