I'm heading up to Portland, ME in a little while for a conference tomorrow. Four-hour drive, which, for anyone who knows me knows that's well within my 'flying out the question' radius.
My friend and colleague who I'm driving up with suggested Monday that maybe he would fly us up...in a 2-seater propellor plane. As soon as these words came out of his mouth, my feet started tingling and I got a little woozy. Then he said, "But I haven't logged enough hours to fly in overcast weather and they're calling for rain so it probably can't happen." So..lemme get this straight ... you can be certified to fly only in ideal weather conditions?? What, pray tell, happens should the weather change mid flight?? Naturally, these and other catastrophic ruminations led to 2 nights of dreams: Tues night, my brother and I were riding our bikes to the meeting; Wed night, I was flying solo to the meeting.
