JCviggen, thanx for sharing! Do you remember actual time of takeoff?
Anyone who also remembers such instances with Aeroflot, please come forward and post info here. It all will be forwarded to numerous aviation authorities.
Since I don't see the wings I cannot prove the practice, but some of us approach controllers at Oslo have noticed (On our A-SMGCS display) that AFL do seem to bypass the deice on their way to the runway from time to time, when everyone else stops at the "bird bath".
