Icing

Heated wings are great, Falcon 20. Departed DCA one time in light freezing rain. Frozen precept was forecast so we had the airplane filled with fuel and put in a heated hanger over night. Loaded the passengers and called ground while still in the hangar. Ground said we would be #1 because everyone else was deicing. We came out the tops about 3500 and the ice on the nonheated areas was impressive! I am not sure a booted airplane would have done it.
