Wow, that was really something!
This months Soaring mag has an article on cloud flying. The author is quite current and knowledgeable on the subject, but I worry about a couple of idiots that thought they’d like to log just a bit of IMC time, like this video?
What do the rest of you think about the article published in Soaring mag?

If your ship is equipped, you are rated, and current, why not? The fun part would be filing, or picking a clearance up in the air, and listening to the surprise on the part of the specialist as well as the fumbling when you ask for the block altitude! Cross country and being handed off to the next sector would probably raise some eyebrows too! I thought this glider instructor's review of the video was pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TH7UXgT4Txs
