I dunno. Should I bring croissants?

Weather and mountains? whatever should I do????
Did I ever tell ya'll 'bout the time I flew home from Dixon in a snowstorm?
That video is on Utube sir..........
Glad you two are home safe...
Any pics of the event???
I was so busy playing with the Stratus that I didn't even notice the multiple takeoffs.Well, 4 take-offs and 4 landings for an out-and-back to SBS. Saw some boring flying and so showy flying at SBS.
How did I get 4 take-offs and 4 landings you might ask? It was a bit gusty at SBS on departure...it took me three trys to keep it off the ground...
so that was the view of the scattered/broken layer to the left, forward, and right on the way to Steamboat. It was similar on the way back with a few widely scattered rain showers thrown in.
Winds aloft were more than forecast, they ranged from 20 to 45 knots so the ride was bumpy with plenty of up and down drafts which were generally less than 500 fpm. A few got my attention in the ususal places - the Front Range north of Fort Collins is almost always bad with winds like that. We stayed under the rotors so no real excitment...
I can barely see it,, but it looks like your forests are devastated worse then ours by the beetle kill...
Sorry I missed it but some need to labor on Labor Day weekend. Actually not laboring much, laboring starts tomorrow. Steamboat is a tad bit further than my on-call leash, though.
