Was: flying hard IFR with only a VFR rating

[84KF 4]

Leni,

   Here is a lifesaving tip I got from an oldtimer instructor:

If IFR conditions are a possibility during a flight, always carry a live duck with you in the aircraft.

If you inadvertently do enter IFR conditions, throw the duck out the window, and, since ducks are smart enough to know not to fly in IFR conditions they will head for VFR conditions.

So just follow the duck.

Must be where the old saying "wheres the f*^^ing duck" came from
