Flight Instruction Wednesday July 17th is a GO, because Frank Said SO

$:-\$ Will have to see some improvement in the forecast before making a determination.

Think positively... and repeat; "Rain, rain, go away, come again some other day than Wednesday".

Maybe the "nice" weather that starts at 8pm will shift up a bit.

If training is a go, I will definitely be there.
Right now showing 40-60% showers for that time.

Frank v B · July 16, 2019, 07:28:19 PM

You guys are all wrong. A POP of 60% means that the probability of having a coffee at Tim's Woodbine is 60%. The probability of flying is 40%. That's a win either way.

I am heading up no matter what.*

* my wife needs the break !!

Well if Frank is going to be there, it is a GO!

Thanks to everyone for your positive thoughts in bringing about better weather.

WilliamA · July 16, 2019, 07:58:50 PM

I will join you guys as I believe that the weather will hold up.

Frank v B · July 16, 2019, 08:38:36 PM

Bruce,

You are still in charge of the weather.
I must say you have done a great job the past few weeks. Sunshine and no snow. I set my weather standards very low so I am seldom disappointed. What more can a guy ask for?

Hi Bruce, My grandson cannot make tomorrow ,as he has other activities ,so you can put back the extra batteries that you were bringing. See you at ROGO field.

Just a heads up. No guarantee with the weather, but it does look 'more promising' than 'not'.

See you there, regardless.

Bruce

Fly... hide out in the car... fly... hide out in the car...

Any tales of lightning strikes on an RC plane?

Should have left the floats on the Beaver...

What a great evening. No snow. Gray said that there was not a single drop that fell on the field all day while EMS in Toronto had to do 17 water rescues. Go figure.

Here are the photos.
