Gosh darn Larry I just knew you would come up with something....

I remember going through a mountain pass full of cloud in an old Dak/C47/DC3 and the Squadron Leader who was flying looked over at me and asked if I saw the mountain goats standing on the clouds.
Stupid me...I started looking....

The first time through though I was a little apprehensive as we could see the peaks and not the whole mountain at times.
That old Squadron Leader had flown during the war and had flown CF100s, F86 Sabres and T33s many times through the mountains.
