Trying to fly from Savannah, GA to Prescott, AZ. Planned for three days, looks like it will be five. Maybe.
Spent all day yesterday in Tuscaloosa waiting out the weather before getting in a late afternoon two hour flight westward. Landed comfortably before sunset. Today it looks like I'll be waiting out the weather near Vicksburg and might -- might get in one leg this afternoon.
I'm not instrument current and that would have helped some on this trip, but severe thunderstorms don't care about your ratings. Unstable atmosphere, storms moving st 25 knots, weather I don't want to challenge.
I've got the advantage of being retired, but if you've been wondering if anybody actually does sit out the weather.... I'm exercising lots more patience than I really want to.
On a more positive note, I'm finally getting comfortable with the G3X touch. Lots of impressive features once you're up to speed.
