HI THERE

i came across this AOPA report on a TBM that crashed 17 minutes after taking off from TETERBORO

i remember the news report.

in many ways a TBM performance envelop is similar to our LNC4; admittedly not many Lancair aircraft
have full de-ice equipment, but we could easily find ourselves in a similar situation.

FIVE MINUTES INTO THE ICING, and the plane is out of control

it is hard to stay vigilant, but that is how we get to be old pilots
