Finally

This weekend’s weather for my usual route of flight appears favorable. In fact, the forecast is for severe VMC conditions. For the first time in forty-one days, I should get to take to the skies again.

Outbound tomorrow, at both ends, they are forecasting a light breeze, visibility in excess of six miles, and either a few high (25,000 feet) clouds or sky clear.

Return Sunday night is winds calm, visibility in excess of six miles, and a few clouds above 12,000 feet at HEF and winds <10MPH, visibility in excess of six miles, and broken clouds above 12,000 feet at TTA.

As is normal for this time of year, it’s going to be chilly – surface temperatures will be in the 40s tomorrow afternoon and in the 30s Sunday night. Absent precipitation, low clouds, or significant wind, that’s nothing but a slightly unpleasant preflight.

I hope that next weekend will be similarly agreeable. I want the practice. The following weekend will find me flying to Tampa Exec in my first ever multi-leg cross country for a fellowship meeting in Brandon, Lord willing. I’ll likely log over six hours that Friday and another six coming home Sunday afternoon.
