N16963 (cn 145116) Yes, I did land in this. We were the last plane to land in Houston on the morning of the 29th as the weather dropped below ILS Category II minimums (a visual range of 1200 feet). This was the guy who landed ahead of us and we caught up with him on the taxiway.

Yes, congratulations indeed. Landing in that "pea soup" on steroids certainly took some talent. Proving once again that flying is 90% boredom, interrupted by 10% sheer terror. I'm with Chuck, no doubt there was a very high pucker factor involved that day.

Very cool, and congrats on a successful landing in that soup! I'm sure the pucker factor was a little higher than usual, though!
