Why, this can happen everywhere. I had to divert to another airport twice here
in SoCal, because my destination was fogged in. And the LA smog is infamous.
You see the ground just fine, but you can't see much of what's in front of
you. I have my share of experience, and I don't want to repeat that. I actually
saw the airport I wanted to land (Riverside) only when I was directly over it.
