If I could bottle this and sell it, I'd be a billionare!
Today I took the C-310R on another Grace Flight mission from Portales to Abilene, TX and back to Portales (leg one for the passenger). Over half the first leg was flown in actual IMC. I got to log an actual IMC ILS approach to runway 35R at Abilene Regional (KABI). Best part is the ceilings were between 300 and 400 feet AGL!
Well, descending through the murk on localizer and glideslope, when I finally punched through to the bottom, the runway approach lights were dead ahead off the nose!
I guess it's like a baseball player hitting a home run, that's about the best comparison I can think of for a pilot. When you pull it off, it's one hell of a fine feeling!
