Scud running

[C5Engineer 1170]

I know a 500 foot ceiling and a mile of vis is awesome flying weather for you AK guys but for us California guys who are used to our 300+ days a year of perfect VFR weather it's kind of sporty. I ran around today in some pretty low vis and ceilings. At least I had the pattern all to myself for the first time in a while. Man I love how fast these airplanes slow down!! A guy was doing his run up today and made a comment on the CTAf after I called out departing RWY 25 and on short final for RWY 25 about 30 seconds apart..... 23.2 hrs and counting...getting closer to that magical 40 hour mark.

500 and a thousand would be a god send sometimes... the flight up to the cabin I was down to less than 100 and 200' the trees were about 50' off my wing tips and it was hard to see them at times..... dumb people sometimes do dumb things... especially when there is a soon to be Ex involved and you are getting the hell away from her
