It's interesting when large chunks fly off a prop blade.

Hell yes, wasn't that a hoot, especially when you were near some
young inexperienced guy, you could get quite a reaction outta him
with a horrified facial expression.

When I did cloud seeding flights, our Cessna 340s and Piper Cheyennes were
pretty beat up in that part of the fuselage, from ice being flung from the
props.

We were looking for super cooler water droplets, which of course were going to
freeze to the aircraft, since our target zone for temps was -5 to -10C.

However that was over land, around 20,000 ft, and not far from airports.

Doing it over the north Atlantic at night at low level in severe icing still
sounds like insanity
