Martinaire down in MI

Agreed entirely, somehow forgot to mention that. Esp. agree about where the strips were. I can't remember, all these years later, which way they were off, but it seemed like they were either too high or low on the wing, so you'd still get some accumulation either above or below the strips. Worked well on the 210, though.

They were too low. Pretty much stuck using max flow to get enough fluid up on top and definitely had to get out of the ice. Definitely agree about the 210, zero #@%^s were ever given about ice.

Even that looks better than boots. HATE boots!

That wing looks familiar.

Neither of those photos have enough ice to start caring. Heck, there's not enough on that 99 wing to even use the boots yet.

There's an inch and a half on the Baron and that was after 20ish minutes. You can see it on the landing light and nav light. Severe by rate of accumulation, the TKS system kept it nice and even and mostly clean.

The 99s got what you see on the "blinder" out by the landing light, 1/3rd to a half inch. Practically nothing, yes, but the straggly ass breakage makes me think "Hmmm...". Probably won't ever get used to that. I'm ready to be a jet kitty.
