Mansfield.
I landed in Zurich about a year ago in my RJ-100 (Bae 146).

Damn it there were giant jaggy shapes jutting out from where the pylons met the wing.

I'm talking about 40-60 lbs of jaggy ice lumps sticking forward from the pylon/ wing junctions.


If one had sproinked off and landed on a pax it would have killed him dead.

Only a fuggin idiot would have taken off like that, but we landed like that!
