To: Out of Balance
On one occasion,we were flying back to our Base in the Lower Peninsula of the State of Michigan. It was quite cold flying over Lake Superior and on occasion we would fly over ice flows which created a very large temperature gradient. In certain cases the humidity in the air over the lake would turn into fog in a split second as the moist air passed over the ice flow. Dave did not intentionally fly into fog it just developed around us and he had the presence of mind to get us out before we crashed into the cliffs on the shoreline. He carried a green card (instrument license).
It also happened several times when we were scouting for the ship to find a crack in the ice.
