Weather to fly?

After several weeks of bad weather and other disruptions, I had another flight booked today in a Cessna 172.

I arrived at the Club at about 12 noon and all was looking good. The various aircraft were flying, winds were a fairly light southerly and everyone was happy to be in the air.

The only slight issue were the clouds off to the south of the aerodrome. Needless to say, it didn't take long. By around 1:30pm, the thick dark clouds were over the aerodrome, it got noticeably colder and the rain started falling. Oh yeah, the winds picked up :-)

That was the end of any flying for the day. Darn!

Here are three photos from today. The first looks over the Club apron and includes a couple of Club Piper PA38-112 Tomahawks. Notice the vertical development in some of the cloud and the dark layer underneath.

Enjoy!
