im wondering why they teach and test VFR pilots with the Foggles every year - Chpjock.... you don't tend to hit things by going up a little for a think instead of down for a look - when you do end up in the crap..... i bet every one of you has had that eeeeerrrrrrrrrr moment in your days of flying helicopters... and had to do a 180..... or go up and do one ....
The radar controllers will help anyone ... even a VRF single who has inadvertantly enerted the cloud or crap - even in uncontrolled airspace ....
i wasn't in any way saying that is what it was or what caused it - living not far away and not been able to see the pylon tops...made me keep my feet on the ground.....
