Deicing Planes in Sarasota, Florida - using the Sun

Hundreds of travelers flying out of Florida's Sarasota-Bradenton International were delayed by about by two hours Wednesday morning because of de-icing delays. Sort of.

The Sarasota Herald Tribune writes "airport officials grounded three planes because they had ice on the wings." But, since below-freezing temperatures are so rare in central and south Florida, none of the airlines at Sarasota keep de-icing equipment at the airport.
