Jim
In mozambique it was! The terrorists came to my strip and I had to get
the hell out in a hurry! Thunderstorms moved in and I got caught
between layers while trying to get back to home base about 75 miles
away.
The first time I got caught in a fogbank in Louisiana and struggled to
keep rightside up while climbing. Tops were only about 1200' and I got
a heading back to the strip. There was a hole right over the strip and
I could see the ground so spun it down. The tops were solid as far as I
could see and I only had a little over an hour of fuel on board with a
full hopper of toxic stuff (4-2-1) and didn't want to crash with it on
board! Those were my stupid days!!
