For all of you,sitting in front of a warm fire,cup of cocoa in hand,in ur slippers,spouting about the horror of anyone ignoring a windshear warning...One day,conditions may dictate,It could be a viable option for you too.
Generally,the killer shears are from microbursts related to large thunderstorms,or in mountainous terrain.
Heavens,.if my Piper Cub,back in the 80's at the LGC,had been fitted with windshear prediction equipment,east run days would have been drunken days at the bar,instead of white knuckle days!..Crikey,maybe you have a point!
Now i'll retreat to my WW1 trench and await incoming!!!
