Default Re: What Have You Done That Needed Courage?

I got caught in the ice up at 16,000 feet in a Turbo Seminole at night once. I had a full 1" covering the leading edges, props, tail(!), etc. Basically, everything wrong that could happen DID happen. I had a nasty headwind, at night, over the mountains, with solid IFR covering the whole area below me. There were no precision approaches within 100+ miles of my position either.

Bad planning and execution by me, but I lived.
