So you are saying that it is indefensible to plan a low level sortie, get caught out by the weather in a steep sided mountain pass, stop, turn round and taxi out??????????
I really don't know what sort of flying you did in the Army but I do think you have forgotten your roots and lost complete perspective here.
The be a better pilot thread should hold that video up as a 'how to extricate yourself properly' example - or a 'how not to end up in CFIT or IIMC' - it shows exactly what should be done - go down, slow down and turn round when you can.
By 'up yourself' I mean pretending you have never been caught out by weather - I'm starting to wonder if you are a pilot at all.
Helonorth - I don't need to help these guys - they didn't do anything wrong and everyone except you and DB knows it
