for an Angel Flight you absolutely HAD to go at
that
time.

You never HAVE to fly an Angel Flight.


Well, of course . . . that's the whole point of having the rating. Because I
have it, I *can* fly the mission. I don't have to cancel it because VFR flight
is "not recommended".

Lots of IFR time is spent on top, where the sun is shining brightly and the sky
is deep blue. And you look down and see the gray muck that is the reason
nobody wants to go to the beach. :-) All you have to do is get up through it,
and then back down with the runway in front of your airplane where it belongs.
Sometimes you can depart IFR and fly 20 minutes away and be in perfect VFR
conditions for the rest of your route and destination. But you can't depart
without the rating.
