Helicopter Ice Fog?

Hello! On the off chance someone reads this. I am looking for a video I had once viewed about helicopter blade icing. I think, clear air ice fog that forms rapidly. It was a Bell Jet Ranger, a 206B, that was running at 100% on the ground in clear air. They then proceeded to a hover and within a very short time frame the 206 settled back back to the ground. Ice horns had formed very quickly on the rotor blades destroying the lift. If you've seen this video or have a copy you can send me it would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: Hopefully the video you are seeking.
This post merged from its own Thread with the old one: the Search function is a wonderful tool to use. This thread is interesting, too Blade Icing in Ice Fog
