On the contrary! Everybody can fly in booming conditions, but weak
thermals and low cloud base will sift the chaff from the wheat.

I wonder if Mr. Smith's island flying is actually tough flying. Ironically,
soaring conditions can be 'weak' with low cloudbases but amazingly
consistent and 'easy' to stay aloft. You just don't go anywhere.... but you
see a few things clearly and often.

Anyway, just reflecting on South Florida conditions where low, closely
spaced, consistently popping thermals can be common.
