he might have won the lottery. he might have done alot of things.

but why would an ATP cancel IFR while airborne when going to an airport with a control tower in operation? Tell me.

ATC is not done with you if you call the airport in sight.

cancelling IFR is something else, and he wouldn't have done that, when the Tower at the proper destination would have done it automatically upon landing
