Yep, good one.

Wx was < 1200' at destination, no CatII (this was 35 years ago), hand-flew the '9 down to about 200', nothing seen and returned to the departure airport - had one passenger tell us as he was getting off that "we just went up and flew around a while to keep everybody happy" before returning.

There's a million stories and everyone's an expert until they're called upon to perform.

FWIW, I think everyone seriously considering this question should read PBL's contribution very carefully before launching.
