Air Venture 2023: Who's going?

[Galvine]

I was given a tip to file IFR and do not cancel when the tower says “field is VFR so we recommend you cancel IFR and fly in VFR”
I said “I need to stay on my IFR flight plan and fly the full approach”.

They let me.

I felt so safe. Away from traffic. Landed alone instead of with other planes trying to land on different colors.

The time I flew in VFR was too stressful for me.
Stacked in amongst other planes. Too close to other planes
Maybe it gets easier.
Instrument approach was way way easier.
