Welcome to the Alleghany Ice Machine!
Go back and read your Ernest Gann.
I don't have to! I started flying in PA in 1946 and have been flying
in PA since then, except when in the Marines.
Between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, there is always the probability of
icing nine months of the year.
Well, yes, but in some of those nine months the probability is not
much more than .01. Spring is the worst, for reasons you all know.
The incident I described occurred on April 6, about 20 years ago.
It was the only significant icing experience I ever had.
