Yes, thank you, another sound point - "where he said the weather was good".
I respect the pilot for making the report (he didnt have to) and he had no reason to lie.
I am rather unhappy when other pilots imply he had no business flying in those conditions. I am willing to take the pilot at his word unless there is clear evidence to the contrary - unless I am very much mistaken, from what we know, there is not.
If you want to make it up as you go along that is up to you but it usually makes more sense to stick with the facts.
PS Am I reading too much into your post - or do you know where the "incident" took place?
