Speaking of Fuel Ripoffs...

For those pilots -- and ONLY for those pilots -- we allow you to cancel right up till 6 PM without penalty. This is our "IFR Cancellation Policy." It has to get below 1000 and 3? I live out west where an actual 10 mile viz day really sucks. I'm not going anywhere at 1000/3. I'm not setting off for the midwest if the viz is less than 10 east of the Missouri, because that means the weather is about to be **** poor. |

Hey, here in Iowa 1000 and 3 is doable. Remember, there's no high terrain to hit here! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

In the northeast in the summer, 1000 and 3 is considered CAVU! :-) Matt |

Hey, here in Iowa 1000 and 3 is doable. Remember, there's no high
terrain to hit here! ....But there are tall towers. I remember navigating across Iowa under a cieling and in crappy visibility using mainly pilotage (this was before the day of GPS, and the only VOR within range was OTS). Most of the towers were where they were supposed to be, but one in particular (that we knew was out there) was never spotted. Spooky. I put in an ADF after that trip (and it came in handy a few times). David Johnson |

Yeah, there are some hot, sticky days in August when there is so much moisture in the air that it's like flying inside a ping-pong ball. It's legal VFR, but it sure ain't pretty. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Now, in Oklahoma it's a different story. http://www.niehs.nih.gov/kids/lyrics/ohwhata.htm "The corn is as high as an elephant's eye, An' it looks like it's climbin' clear up to the sky." Montblack |

Do you ask others on Usenet this question. Can I not be who I am without a long distingushed history on Google? You cut me to the quick, "Gig", but I would respectfully submit that you are presenting quite the paradox in that a person must have an identity to post here, but he cannot have an identity without having posted here "AWHILE". How long have you been here? What are your qualifications to post here? Newton Turk Chief Test Pilot NASA Dryden Reseach Center |
