Yeah, when he banks right into the clouds and the visibility goes to
ZERO, that's a scary moment. But then my mind races forward
thinking, "Wait a minute! We have the video so there must be a happy
ending. As noted, you have to trust the instruments, which is
something photographers have been doing for more than a century. Of
course we aren't playing with lives, but still, you gotta trust the
meter.

that approach was a piece of cake...first off, there was no
turbulence...secondly, the mountain tops were visible above the very
thin stratus layer providing excellent situational awareness...coming
out under cloud after a half minute descent, the ceiling and
visibility were excellent...I could see where this would be a dicey
place to get into if the weather were such the mountains were
obscured and the ceiling and visibility were marginal, like 200 feet
and a half a mile...having said all that, the video was beautiful...
