Hi Jay. Are you no longer flying at night? If not, why not?

It's one of the things I truly miss about night flying.

Hi Jay. Are you no longer flying at night? If not, why not?

Oh, we'll fly at night if necessary, but it's a risk we chose long ago
to avoid if at all possible. I've only flown an hour or two at night
in the last five years.

The "aim for a dark spot" forced landing method isn't a good one to
contemplate when you've got kids counting on you. Once they're on
their own, we'll go back to night flying.

Yea, I know what you mean. It's very nice, with the smooth air and city lights, but it is a concern,
especially in areas of rough terrain like we have out West.
