Maybe not... By the time they vectored a confused and scared VFR pilot
the CB that pounded across the field ten minutes after we landed might

Would you REALLY have continued on if you didn't have the IR up your
sleeve? I definitely will press VFR a lot further now that I know I can
both fly successfully in the soup and also get a pop-up clearance if
needed. I was definitely a more cautious pilot when VFR only as I am
now. I suspect the same about Jay.
