Well I guess it was a bit optimistic to expect that I could fly from one side of the country to the other on my way to Sun ‘n Fun without the weather intervening. A good reminder that while small planes offer great freedom and flexibility they don’t do thunderstorms really well. So any big cross-country plan needs to include plenty of fat so you don’t fall victim to press-on-itis. With this in mind I’m sitting out Tuesday in Mississippi and will have another go tomorrow. Still plenty of air show left so no need to attempt to outrun lightning.
