Why is it that seemingly every time someone posts a perfectly reasonable question about some dangerous aspect of flying, there is a response like that from Porterhouse?
One of the major benefits of participating in forums like this is to help improve safety by understanding what is safe, what isn't safe and, especially, where the line between the two lies.
I for one think the question is interesting and look forward to continuing to read the experiences of others. Personally, I can't remember ever having been in a weather situation that has really scared me. But then, maybe there has been one that should have?
BTW, from other discussions I've had with Mary on here, I've no reason whatsoever to question her credentials as a pilot. I'd be interested to know the basis on which PH draws his conclusion about that.
