That was a tough one to listen to, a miracle that they made it.

I'm all goose bumply.

Jesus.

That was the scariest thing I have heard in a long, long time.

That is a few years old, if it is the same recording I have heard before. From what I understand the crew, once down in YLW, never got back in an MU2 ever.

Excellent job by ATC and the crew. They sure held it together even though I am sure the pucker factor was very much there.

Just remember, there is no civilain aircraft ever built that is certified to fly in freezing rain, freezing mist or drizzle, or severe ice. From my numerous MU-2 training sessions in Houston, they made it very clear that the idea once you encounter that stuff, you get out of it as close to immediately as you can make it ... not carry on regardless.

That fact was running through my mind on the only time I flew with Jetsgo and they flew into Pearson in freezing rain a few days before Christmas ... the same time that the deice trucks ran out of fluid.

Foggy

incredible ! the worst part was when ATc lost Radar contact with the aircraft.............and then gave the crew an aprox heading to fly ! you have to have some guts to take that kind of responsibility, and give a heading to follow in a valley..with no radar to back you up.

Dear Lord that was scary!

I was supposed to fly these for them, turned the job down 3 days before I was going to start.
