captain1976 0 #5 April 29, 2010 Typical of spring weather patters, especially if you're stuck living where you need life support systems in order to survive a winter. The good news is that tomorrow its supposed to be 11 mph and 10 on Sat and Sun there.You live more in the few minutes of skydiving than many people live in their lifetime Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

novacaine 0 #18 May 4, 2010 Alberta Canada... this is the second time in a week that I've had a snow day... god I can't wait until the +30C weather happens!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 1,621 #19 May 5, 2010 No kidding. I just flew from Philadelphia to Chicago with 30kt headwinds even at low altitude. Highest groundspeed I saw on the trip was 122kts. And then I had to dodge around thunderstorms over northern Indiana.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
