Motorway Flying ...

Did Judge Dredd, spanner in the works etc. fail to eyeball the registration of said c150 at 100-250' AGL? Presumably, he was implying not only that conditions were below safe minima but that the 500' rule had also been broken. On that basis I am surprised that the registration mark would not have been clearly legible if the aircraft type ( F150J) was that obvious- I would find identifying most variants in the C150/152 line quite challenging. Having been taken on my PPL skill test in similar conditions ( having stated that actual conditions were marginal and the area forecast showing no immediate sign of improvement ) I found it to be a valuable learning experience. Whereas SITW concludes this a/c was lost and in peril, it may actually have been a very experienced IR demonstrating very challenging flight conditions in a controlled and safe manner. If it was dangerous - report it! If not, keep your eyes on the road. Safety first.
