A better question is would you drive a Lambroghini to Vegas in this bad weather? I think it's equally dangerous.
One of my best friends is a pilot for a company that has a bunch of King Airs.
I just hate flying in bad weather. He usually flys us everyone and its ok. Its just the weather I am tripping out on but I trust him. Just don't trust the planes.
Yes, I would take the Lambo but no room for staff and lugage.
I am the same way. I never get on smaller jets and cropduster reigional flights in bad weather. The way they get bumped around in the slightest bit of weather makes you feel like the hand of God is playing with the cockpit and bouncing you around.
Scary stuff man.
I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...
A Gulfstream V has a service ceiling at 51,000 ft so you'll be way above commercial traffic and most of the bad weather. The only thing you have to worry about is takeoff and the ascent if your departing city is nasty also and going down into the bad weather for the landing. King Airs I think have a service ceiling of 31,000 ft, so you're farther down the ladder.
In real bad weather I'd feel safer going commercial. 21% of fatal aviation accidents that are non-commercial flights are due to bad weather, so that's about 1 out 5 chances.

Most plane crashes are do to pilot error, no matter if it's bad weather or not.
So if you are going to fly with someone else make sure you know your life is in their hands.
In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.
Sad part is I am co-pilot. I just don't land it but I do alright flying in good weather. I have to see out the window to keep it level. He flys just by the instruments.

Especially with general aviation... I would say 9/10 are pilot error... usually in bad weather because the pilot is flying in conditions that he/she shouldn't be without the proper ratings... thats just my guess though. I have no idea what the actual figures are.

I agree.
My friend flys for a living, he has already gone back and forth to vegas this morning and flys everywhere.
