Weather 1 – Me 0

Posted on March 8, 2019March 8, 2019 by Mike Blackburn

I was supposed to fly to Middelburg(FAMB) this afternoon to camp at the AeroClub of SA Airweek being held there this weekend. The weather, it seems, had other ideas.

I was delayed by 30min at work this morning and by the time I arrived at the airfield the storm line was developing. I hung around finding things to do on the plane until 16h00 local by which stage I could probably have found a route but the flying time would have meant an after dark arrival – and I’m not night current at the moment – not landing at an unfamiliar field at night thank you very much.

The proposed route – see the problem?
Waiting for the rain to stop….
Shortly after deciding to NOT fly to MID…

Tomorrow is another day……
