Agplanes de-icing runways
Posted: Thu Sep 05, 2019 5:08 pm
Maybe not happening anymore but I read an article in a magazine about Piper Pawnees being used to de-ice the runways in the Chicago area(including O'Hare Airport) in 1970. The article included a picture of one of the aircraft at the airport.
Very little on the internet about it but I did find this brief mention about it on the right side just above the picture of the Beech 99.

It is called Dew De-icing for some reason.
