I started flying in Tennessee in 1957, and the visibility was fairly good here, though not what I experienced in coastal areas with winds off the sea. Now, the haze level is much worse, in spite of all of the quoted improvements in handling polutants. I don't think I could make that picture of Choo Choo today.
