Don't forget the airfield

Don't forget the airfield conditions either.

A long time ago at EGPE just as I went to shout 'Clear prop!' someone skied past the nose!

With ice on the taxiway and runway, braking had to be non-existant or extremely gentle. On landing there was more than sufficient runway for my C-150 to come to a halt without braking, using flaps40 to slow down. (There wasn't a breath of wind.

Boy, was it worth it! Not a cloud in the sky and the north of Scotland completely white.

I'm based at a grass strip now so I guess I'm grounded for a while yet, looking at the forecast.
