Not a fight Bosey, was just arguing that it IS possible to tour VFR. How many of your 472 hours either was or could have been VFR?

Though I do admit to having to divert twice in '06 due weather.
Definately not exceptional BTW, with the reduced running costs of a permit a/c many people fly far more and far further than they used to in their spam can days - I certainly do.
