Yes, bush pilots are an incredible lot. I was thinking of your standard
issue GA pilot, which includes me.

There was a good book I read last year describing the life and times of an
Adirondack Mountains (NY State, USA) bush pilot. In it are stories about
spotting a hole in the clouds and confidentially dropping through that hole
to land his floatplane on a lake, discharging his passengers, then taking
off and circling back up through the hole.
