A 150. Quite a few times.

Bertie

Now what were you doing that you had to fly a 150 IMC?

Ferrying one. Did a bunch of light singles at one time. Depending on what
you call IMC, I've done it norod in needle ball and airspeed aripalnes as
wel, buto only for short trips outside controlled airspace, but in the
system, I've done it in a 150/

Well, i didn't say it was lately, and radar coverage hasn't got anything to

I'm on the east coast. My only SEL foray west was to PHX and back in
the A36. We had coverage the entire route, but stayed Victor airways
through the passes.

Yeah, I did a lot of what I was talking about on the east coast but a long
time ago. the 150 ferry was across the atlantic and th eneedle ball and
airspeed stuff was just transiting small areas of cloud. not very bright,
but when you're young...
