Re: [AAAD " tHe bOhEmIaNs"] Eclipse Flight

So finally Vidur and Karunakar have admitted the formation of ice crystals on
airplane windows during flight. Which bring us to the original question on the
attempts to prevent this formation.

I am aware that certain precautions can be taken. Awaiting your reply Ajay.
 
And one more thing Ajay, you should also ask the moderator of this list to
"change the settings of this group so that group members can see who all are
currently subscribed to this group."  just like you had asked in other groups.
