I love the aircraft, personally. I am aware of a SAAF 208 en route to FACT and it picked up ice. The driver was unable to maintain level flight and the aircraft started descending in the soup with 'relatively' high ground underneath. Fortunately the issue resolved itself, if my memory serves me correctly at about FL75. The sweat in the cockpit was reported to be plentiful!

Great aircraft but it seems that it does not mix well with ice, unlike a good Scotch!!
