Heres what I did. I planned out everything Thursday night (leaving
Thu. evening was not an option) and got a good nights rest. Then this morning I woke up early, checked the weather out good and found there was a stationary front right through the center of Kansas. That wasnt suppose to happen, but no big deal. I didnt think it was too strong and it looked pretty patchy, so I decided to load up and go to the airport, which is about 40 minutes away. There I would make the decision. The closer I got, the more fog there was. Figures right? When I left home, there was NO fog. At Maryville, Im guessing ground visibility was about 1/4 of a mile. You could cut it with a dull butter knife. Flight service said it would lift to about 1000 AGL by noon. I had to be there by 10:00, so I was just plain out of luck this time. Im scheduled for the tour again this Wednesday, but the plane may not be available, depending on if this other guy gets his XC out of the way by then. Hopefully next time. ;-) Thank you all for your suggestions. Oh, and I realized no matter how many minutes I stare at each WX chart, the weather will not change. ;-) Dustin Graves PP-ASEL; IR student Fairfax, MO Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy. |
