Default Florida Jets Pics...

Cloud, schmoud. A few months back I flew my Marutaka Raiden into and out of low hanging clouds and fog out at Floyd Bennet. You know what? It was cool as sin. Bank into the clouds, hold the turn, listen to it, and wait for it to reemerge. One of the most interesting and satisfying flights I have ever had. So it's not a jet, but it's a heavily loaded warbird.
I also have hit the clouds a couple of times back when I was flying sailplanes a lot. You just push everything into a corner and wait for it to spin down out of the cloud. Big whoop.
It really DOES depend who, too. I don't mind Wolfgang Kluhr or Jason flying in the dark, but some other guys, well...I'll watch from under my car.
To our Aussie comrade who asked, well...technically, he may have been violating some rule or another, but nobody cared, so no harm done...I think if what he was doing was that dangerous, there would have been PLENTY of people there telling him to stop.
