I have flown through some pretty heavy rain but I don't think I would venture into this one. Not even around it looks good.

Very unusual wx pattern. We're getting strong & gusty winds from the south that's preventing that line from sinking south. I'm near Clearwater.

I was going to do Thursday/Friday, but may opt for Wednesday/Friday as the forecast predicts morning rain on Thursday. I'm not sure whether it's from this line or not. Wait & see.

What worries me is that this is the kind of line of storms that spawned the tornado a few years ago. Coming right off the gulf.

Sitting with a bunch of hopefuls at Perry Foley airport. Waiting for a break in the storm conveyor belt. Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow.

Hope to see you all soon!

Default Sun N Fun

I went there today (from Brookville FL.) but left before the airshow because the weather appeared to be moving South faster than forecasted. Glad I did as the weather at KBKV turned bad real fast....

Default Hope to see some of you Friday

Coming in to Tampa on Thursday PM. Driving so no HBC for us. Would like to put some names to faces. Friday seems to be forecast as clear and cool. Praying for a good day. I know I'll meet up with Steve Ashby sometime. Text if you are available. Mine is 912-429-5761.

The weather that was there this morning is still there.
For those of you looking at Thursday, take a look at the winds. Surface winds here in N. GA are supposed to be nasty.

This is looking like a good year to leave the 9 in a hanger in Noth west Georgia. That line of rain from the west into the main land looks exactly like the year I went down in a camper and watched a tornado go thru the campground

Unhappy Back home

Well I'm back home. I basically paid $200 to get a pizza in Moultrie, GA today. 784 miles, about 6 hrs flying and about 7 hours sitting and waiting. No Sun-n-Fun for me this year. Will I do it again, well yea! I'm sure there will be very few flying in until Thursday afternoon.

Hope to see you tomorrow. We have Oshkosh beer tasting to plan. Only about 23 in HBC as of today.

I was planning on leaving on Sunday, but decided to smash my figure on Friday instead. Looks like the weather would have stopped me anyway. Don't tell anyone, but I prayed for bad weather after smashing my figure so I would not feel as bad.
