Due to sky diving I mostly flew in pretty much god vis days, though sometimes it might have been a bit close when the clouds suddenly dropped or moved in and you have to fight to fly through the holes or over a cloud etc

But in Alaska you have training and special permission right? So you don't get jumped on? From what I heard from the instructor, some guys pushed the vfr stuff in the islands and then when it got bad they were thrown under the bus. Kinda like you fly becouse we said so it you get fired, but if anything happens your going to take the fall.
