How often do we find ourselves scrabbling around in 5kms (ish) visibility in the UK? Doesn't necessarily happen in the US
Wanna bet ?? Go and fly in the LA basin, most days you can't see more than 3 miles...AND the volume of traffic far exceeds anything over here...... I don't know why but there is this misconception that the weather is always good in America? (I suppose if you ignore the thunderstorms, tornados, marine layers, hurricanes, fog, smog, dust storms, ice storms, dust devils, cold fronts and tropical rain then it is better)
