But I can still land. Wink

I'm particularly proud of this landing because I shot a full ILS approach 100% by hand. Well actually the whole flight was done by hand (KSJC-KSFO). I'm usually lazy and let the autopilot do the work when visibility is this bad, but this time i decided to put my skills to the ultimate test. 1/8 mile visibility! Shocked

Litterally can't see a thing until over the numbers. Not even the approach lights.

Ok so I was a little off center-line...close enough! Tongue

Congrats on the landing and great shots!

Isn't it very satisifying to break out of the fog/mist and see those runway lights right off the nose?

I think I'll try it too....wish me luck! (I'll be in the TNT bird)
