Among the differences between a -10 and a -15 version of the DC9, is, (from
what I recall) the additional of leading edge slats to the wing.
The DC9-10 and other aircraft without leading edge slats tend to be very
sensitive to wing icing (witness the F28 crash at LGA by USAir a few years
ago). Leading edge slats help reduce this problem.

Really, I wouldn't kid you about a thing like this.
