4-July-2011 David - San Jose

Finally weather was good in San Jose, so made the 1 hour to San Jose. But coming to the mountain range between the Pacific coast and San Jose, not a single hole in the wall of clouds! We were on a visual plan, but Coco control gave me vectors through the clouds once I assured him I was IFR rated and current. He put me on a ILS for runway 7 at the International airport, and released me to circle to my destination, Pavas Airport, about 5 miles from the large airport, once we cleared the clouds just 800 or 1000 ft above ground.

San Jose / Pavas airport, we arrived just before the thunderstorm
