Water pooling sucks!
That's a dilemma....if you go fast enough to see, you can't stop....if you go slow enough to stop, you can't see.
Never flew one with AIFF, but even without it there were times in the Oklahoma rain that I wished I had some kind of windshield exterior air ala the F-4.
Dayton would probably have had the disorienting ALSF sequenced flasher lights up full bright in these conditions. I recall asking to have the sequenced flashers turned off a couple of rainy nights. (I believe they lost one at Shaw due to disorientation on short final.) Would that also mitigate some of the AIFF water pooling visual effects or was it a lost cause?
