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.

Just curious as to what part of that experience you considered courageous? The fact that you didn't just intentionally fly into a mountain and "end it all"? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
