About 2300 xmas eve I had a last minute charter pop up: Collect the pax in Daytona at 1700 xmas day to take them to the Florida Keys. The FBO I was to use is the other side of the runway from ERAU.
Watching the Wx radar over the 'net made me decide to cancel the flight (with the customer's concurrence of course. He decided driving was a better option). Bloody glad I did! That was about the time ERAU was spanked. The boss was rather happy too.
Soon as I was stood down by work it was instant beer o'clock. No getting called out a second time for me!
