Visibility 10. What's the restriction to visibility? Airborne cows?
 
Erg. My performance charts don't go that low. Can I still legally fly? :biggrin::devil:
Maybe that “submarine Mooney” that was for sale many years ago.
 
With that much wind on the tail, it could make for some mighty unbelievable claims for some C-150 owners.

Well, once when a cold front came through I saw a little better than 1,000 knots, TAS. No, really!
Yeah, I busted Vne in level flight that day.
