Dancing on the head of a pin FH1100?
All was good until we got to that high point, where the clouds were down in the trees. I slowed down and got down over a lightly traveled country road. I won't lie, it was tense, and I'm sure that the few car drivers we encountered thought we were crazy. After what seemed like an eternity, the ground fell away and gave us some clearance between it and the clouds. We continued on to the hunting camp.
So you were hovertaxiing in cloud along a road at a height low enough to alarm car drivers - unless I am missing something.
You say you were lucky but you got away with it and it certainly sounds like you would do it again - that is exactly the mentality that leads to accidents like New Orleans and so many others.
PS being lucky and getting away with it doesn't make you 'good'.
And a lot of times, we fly in weather conditions that keep our fixed-wing brethren cowering like scared little girls in pilot lounges all across the nation,
And that comment says everything about a machismo attitude to aviation that causes accidents
