Maybe he’s just kind of like one of those really good pilots or something.

Better that he saw the lights and was legal to land at 500 RVR reporting than the jackwagons that called it 800 RVR when it really was probably 200 RVR when we landed one time.

It is a Saratoga... really slow, and 500 RVR probably was some good vertical visibility (likely 500 ft or greater) to see lights, which is not that bad. If he did it, good for him. I don't think that is necessarily fate-tempting for a light GA aircraft.
What do you mean couldn't talk on the radio?
