Me too! All good points here I think.
My personal issue with ice and flying aircraft without equipment stems from the fact that it is so unpredictable, as we all attest to. I've heard countless statements of how much ice a PA28 or C172 can handle yet we see deiced aircraft tumble out of the sky from time to time. It isn't to be taken lightly and as an instructor I don't want to give newbies the wrong idea.
I know people who do all kinds of weird things in aviation and survive, but it's not so intelligent to sanction these actions - they are dangerous, and flying in ice is too.
So, as a last word from my part, please consider what you do, and consider who you tell about it.
