OK, I don't remember seeing them there, but that's jut the memory! I do
remember th eapproach at Altoona, though. Or maybe it was Johnstown. You
basically flew down the side of a hill much of the way.


Probably Johnstown (though Altoona has the same topogrpahy -- but I
haven't reason to fly to Altoona yet).

I think the Rwy 5 approach parallels the ridge.

We just had the local DE go down in a Bonanza last Thursday night into
KCBE (Cumberland, MD). No NTSB prelim yet, but the educated guess is
ice.

The Cumberland airport sits between a very steep, tall ridge to the
west and some lower to the east. Fly it in daytime and you'll think
twice about Circle to land at night.

It's easy to second guess but man I hope I stay scared long enough to
avoid LIFR and Ice into a place like CBE for a long, long time.
