Interesting times

I remember following an NTAMS Nomad to a comunity in Northeren SA on a cloudy day. Visual nav was dificult and was all we had. (no GPS then) I decided to ask the Nomad pilot ahead of me what the weather was like at his location. I first asked where he was.
He replied " I have no idea. Of course I am on track" He managed to find the community and land but when I got there it had clouded over again. He told me when he heard me fly over and I managed to find a hole in the cloud a bit to the south, descended through it and tracked back to the community.
Interesting times.
