Smokey!

Today was the worst haze/smoke I have seen. I had one flight in the afternoon, but I had to let another pilot do it, since he is approved to fly IFR and I am not. The smoke had reduced visibility to about 3 miles at one point. It really made for some weird looking daylight. I need a little more field experience before MAF will turn me loose to do IFR flights. (IFR meaning control of the airplane solely by reference to the instruments)
This is what it looked like when Steve took off on what was going to be my flight, in the middle of the day. Looks like sunset!
