Has this happened to anyone else? In Atsugi, Japan, there is a large
incinerator just outside the base. Because the environmental controls
aren't as strict as other places, it would put out a lot of smoke at
times.
We were approaching in an H-3 from Yokosuka and told the field was
IFR.
The
visibility was unlimited except about a 100 yard wide plume of smoke
centered on the tower.

So it really does happen? LOL!


Yes, they're still up there waiting!

;-)

That's OK; the Sea King's got the endurance for the job. ;-)

HAD the endurance. We ended up flying an instrument approach to a
completely VFR field. I was very proud of my pilots for not saying the
things to the tower over the radio, that they were saying about them in the
aircraft.
