I know I haven’t written here in a while, but frankly that’s because I haven’t flown in a while. Granted, I did fly in December (a bunch of times around the pattern just to keep my landing skills up), but that wasn’t exciting enough really to blog about. I’m also know I’m not the first person to write about the “Blizzard of 2011″, but frankly it’s SOMETHING. Furthermore, this blizzard is the main reason why I probably won’t be flying this weekend…I’m sure Westosha will still be cleaning up and getting the runway and taxiways in decent shape.
I guess there isn’t much to say other than “WOW, there was a LOT of snow!” Check out these pics. I hope everyone else has had better weather so they can fly more…I actually have not flown in 2011 yet…I miss flying!!!!
I guess it was only a matter of time that I’d experience a scrubbed flight…especially being from Chicago. I was in beautiful Las Vegas for most of this week, but yesterday after arriving back at home the snow started falling heavy and fast. I knew by 9pm the night before my planned lesson today that we would have to cancel. Sure enough, after talking with my CFI we decided it wasn’t going to be nice enough to fly. Granted, this morning I DID see a small plane in the air, but even so I wouldn’t have been comfortable landing on icy/snowy runways (let alone dig the plane out of a snow bank).
