    I have never understood why any airport/airspace is VFR. I used to work at one that was (as a weather observer) and sent in an unofficial (15 minutes before the station opened) WOXOF report for an incoming medic flight cause the ceiling was below 50’.

    Pilot landed by the skin of his teeth, then came to my office to thank me. If they hadn’t had the report they would have had to fly another 380 miles return to drop the patient off.
