[Butch Cassidy Slept Here]

An ice-related crash, immortalized in song--"The Day The Music Died"--involved a small charter prop aircraft carrying Buddy Holly and Richie Valenz. This occured in the late 1950s. To my understanding, the dangers of flying with ice on the wings was not known at the time. A, slightly, more recent tragedy (still, 20 years ago) involved another charter flight carrying servicemen from Europe. An Arrow Air plane crashed near Halifax, Canada because of icing conditions.
