What do you reckon the phase means?
How about: "A moment when a plane is coming down on approach and it
cannot see the horizon."
But then again, I could be totally wrong. ;-)
No, you're probably on to something there, but with a few exceptions
around big bodies of water I haven't been able to see the horizon on
*any* approach I've ever made. Why would I want to? Why would
military pilots make such a big deal about it that they'd give it a
spooky name?
