CAVU
Ceiling and Visibility Unlimited (CAVU) is a meteorology term used by aviators to indicate perfect flying conditions. It is a traditional blessing typically said from one aviator to another to wish them a safe flight.
The late 41st President of the United States, George H.W. Bush, used CAVU as both a blessing towards others and as a way of life. Bush’s daughter, Doro Bush Koch, spoke to her father’s
CAVU outlook in the George Bush Presidential Library Foundation documentary 41 on 41.
“It’s what Naval pilots would wish for,” said Koch. “And that is blue skies. Blue, clear skies. And that’s what dad had in his life.”
