Reply #200: Even if Kennedy had experienced "zero visibility"

[truedelphi]

Why would he grab the throttle and do a descent of 2500 feet in mere seconds?

He had quite a few hours of flight training. He had also been up with flight instructors who had shown him how to operate the instruments he needed.

Does anyone think that with Kenendy calling the air traffic control tower at 9:39 Pm, and reporting (apparently) according to them, that all was well, and that he was flying at 2500 feet, approaching the airport, that at 9:40 he would suddenly notice ZERO visibility and IMMEDIATELY seize the throttle and descend all 2500 feet in a nosedive?

Why? That makes no sense? As a passenger car driver, who has once in a rare while run into ZERO degree visibility suddenly - I don't grab my steering wheel and immediately do a 90 Degree adjustment. I continue forward and hope for the best. The 90 degree adjustment would be akin to suicide, especially for my car if on a two way heavily trafficed road. And for anyone suggesting that JFK Jr did a full throttle nosedive because he saw some difficult visibility situation is equally absolutely crazy.
