Night VFR pilots are always on the lookout for those halos around ground lights
- a sure sign that visibility is diminishing.

In night VFR, my biggest worry would be unseen obstacles when manoeuvering near
an unfamiliar airfield - particularly power lines, because they're
completely invisible under these conditions. If you're VFR into an airfield you
know well, there must be few pleasures in this world greater than night VFR, on
a calm, clear night.


Hmm, there's a full moon next week (Thursday, July 21).
Maybe, if the fog doesn't roll in, I'll go up and take a look :-)
