Hi Ed, Well said. SoCal / LA basin often has MVFR with no cloud (3 miles in haze is common) with no cloud, or easily avoidable cloud (dissipating coastal stratus). My goal is to avoid the clouds. Deliberately flying VFR into clouds is a bad idea however; I'll refrain from any name calling.

What do you call them? I call us "bold pilots" who've just gone to "take a look" to see if we could get through. You know the saying about old and bold pilots. Many of us have survived and gotten over being "bold pilots." Others did not survive that experience and, when we remember them, we might discuss their final mistake as we encourage listeners to not be bold pilots.
