NO TAP makes drinking beer from a keg a bit tough after a flight.

Speculation, a Micronesia location? Maybe Truk or Yap is just for a refuel stop?

PS - To those who may remember Preacher and even luckier to have actually known him (I did not), I must say I learned much from his posts.

Of course I would have a typo for typing; ah, so fitting it seems.

Wal-Mart provides a much better product, clearer pricing, and has much better customer service.... Also, do not generally think the Wal-Mart employees change out of the work clothes for fear of their own safety do to the company making the paying customers angry.

Not against the risk or even the flying in IMC conditions under IFR, I am viewing this as someone was under pressure to do something that seems based on the info provided as unsafe. To help clarify, I view a -- Sightseeing flight -- as something that by its very intent needs VFR conditions for visual viewing, and not possible under the rules requiring at least 3 miles visibility (etc... ok, special VFR) for a VFR flight. Info in article says there was only 2 miles visibility and mist and rain; no idea on the ceilings. Now maybe the IMC came in while in flight, but I would think most people flying the area would generally know about how the weather changes and what actions make the best sense for safety.

I would think the cruise lines might want to put a warning to people that less than 5 miles of visibility will not only make it not really a good sightseeing tour, but might end up in crash; i.e. unsafe flying conditions might be a better way to say it. FLY AT YOUR OWN RISK, STUPID.

Surprised the person doing the filming did not shout out a go around; hell ain't worth my life I know for sure. BTW, think I hear someone saying -- Be careful, Don't worry about it, good, good, good, OK -- THUD. in the video. Is that the guy in the right seat?
