What? How could he have asked for an IFR clearance if he wasn't IFR
rated? I assume he was.


Jay's not instrument rated and flies exclusively VFR. Jay has repeatedly
mentioned why he hasn't finished his rating, noteably that he doesn't need
it and wouldn't be able to stay proficient, inspite of the fact that he
probably flies 200 hours a year. Considering how much flying he does, he'd
be an excellent candidate for getting an instrument rating. I always enjoy
Jay's flying stories, but I would have liked this one a bit better if he
wasn't violating VFR cloud clearance minimums in the process.
