Grim, don't we all do that???

Lowtimer, the rain in Spain falls mainly... yeah, you know how it goes. I think the best viz I've ever seen was flying around Arizona in a Super Cub last January, with a friend in the back seat. We turned to the north, and on the horizon we could quite clearly make out a snow-covered mountain. I thought I recognised the mountain from having flown up to the north a couple of weeks before, but my friend, who had lived in Arizona for years, confirmed it, and a check on other mountains in that direction didn't reveal any other possibilities. After we landed, I checked the chart, and discovered the mountain was 120 miles away I estimate the viz was at least 150 miles - it was absolutely superb
