Title: Flying this Sunday June 24
Post by: Frank v B on June 22, 2018, 11:00:39 PM
You guys keep the rain away for me. 

I will be at the field approx 10 am to 1 pm this Sunday.  If anyone needs help maidening an airplane or want to drop by just to hurl an insult at me, you know when to find me at the field.

The weather is looking awful.  Should start interviewing for lifeguards at the field.

If it is raining at 9 am, I am going back to sleep*. ;)


Frank

* yes Andy, my normal state of mind.

You know you have successfully penetrated someone's psyche when they start posting their own derogatory assessments of self, saving you the trouble of doing so!  Fascinating to watch the progression!!  8)

Roll over Beethoven.  It is raining here at Yonge and St Clair.

Andy, regarding your comment: "....progression!!"

It is regression. :)

Andy,
I get it.  A conspiracy by our wives.  Cynthia wanted me to work around the house today so she made it rain..... but Mita wants you out of the house later on this afternoon so she is bringing the sun out. 8)

Notice two things:
- the report is not dated.  Could have been last year's forecast at this time.
- zero chance of snow.  Someone went out on a limb for this forecast. :)

If it does stop raining I'll come out!

That is if someone is willing to take responsibility for my first solo ;)

The weather forecast that I've looked at coincides with the one above.  I will be out arriving around 5:30 - 6 Chris, so there will be at least one 'qualified' instructor there enjoy watching you fly on your own.

If things go as planned, I'll be there too!

Fun evening to fly! Super calm around 6pm then it got pretty gusty but it was straight down the run way!

Michael, Bruce, Chris, Felix and I were at the field in the late afternoon. 
Here are some of the video footage I took earlier.

Thanks Oscar, 

Great Videos.  It's so nice to have someone capture treasured moments. 

(My video reinforces the importance of "do as I say, not as I do".)  ::)

Thanks Oscar!  It was awesome reliving the flight!  Helps me to get a feel for the scale of the plane and the field!

I always though I was flying so close to that group of trees, but it doesn't seem as far out as I was imagining it!

Thanks again!
