I have had the wonderful opportunity to experience this myself, back in 2004. I was flying as a pax from Athens, Greece, to Milan, Italy on Alitalia. It had just snowed in Athens, the airport was unprepared, and there was little to no available de-ice fluid. It was some variant of the DC-9/MD-88 etc. and I was sitting aft of the right wing, just like this guy. A couple of inches of slushy wet snow were on the wing, and away we went.

I'm pretty sure I held my breath until I was blue in the face.

Hmmm, cumulative deaths by Aeroflot is higher than the top 10 other carriers combined and higher than all of the US carriers combined... yeah, ok comrade, da.
