15. Local proficiency flights at Ellington AFB may be conducted on a VFR flight plan whenever weather conditions permit.  T-38A's will not fly VFR locals or "traffic pattern only" flights if the ceiling or visibility is less than ________ feet and ________ miles.  Under these conditions, a T-38A will not depart the traffic pattern to work in the local area, unless an IFR clearance is obtained prior to leaving the pattern.
