Lloydminster - Father's Day Fly-in - June 21, 2009 |
|
A great and well attended event.
|
We were the only plane to fly-in and definitely the furthest
flown.
|
|
Despite a gorgeous flight over Saturday evening,
we got weathered in on Sunday
and left Monday in marginally improved pure SCUD ...
|
... and massively shearing winds for the flight home! The
visibility was OK, and the low ceilings lifted a lot about 30
miles to the west. The gusts and windshear, however,
persisted! |
While Mike battled windshear , downdrafts, and SCUD, Tracy saw
cool oilfield equipment. |
We stopped at Viking to refuel. I had had enough of the
bouncies by this point, so we decided to stay over at Viking as it
was a pretty spot.
|
|
Things were a lot nicer the next morning when we
departed for home. |
