Some never get it. Great video.

I had a Special Instrument Card, which meant I could take off in zero/zero conditions.

I did it once: Left McClellan Air Force Base in the Tule fog for NAS North Island, San Diego which was CAVU.

It is an odd sensation.

I have landed in zero/zero but refuse to take off like this.

Flew medivac in Berlin Germany at Tempelhof Air base for many years. The GCA controllers were the best in the world (remember the Berlin Air Lift?) and we were at min fuel once we got overhead, so no options.

The US Air Force guys were great and got us down to the runway and could even tell us if we were on the center-line. Finally got a follow-me truck to come out and help in the fog, and they almost ran into the wing-tip, it was that thick!
