sennadog,

No problem - it was a pleasure. Flying back through those showers even gave the CT (Intercontinental ;) ) a bit of a wash!

Extremely, if possible. In the planes I fly, it's generally half fuel, 1 or 2 seats filled out of 4/5 (the fifth guy would have to be thin...), and all superfluous equipment has been removed. That means gyros, transponder, all avionics, etc. We just have basic pressure instruments, a compass and a lightweight radio.

And, of course, I only do it for fun on nice days!

Reading the first few words of your post, there is another measure which comes to mind..... ;)

I've been planning to try it for years...... :( :rolleyes:
