Some people claim that landings are the most difficult part of flying, others say navigation. They are all wrong.
The most difficult part of flying is getting the aircraft, the weather and the money to arrive together.
I'm rapidlly coming to the conclusion that if the weather is good and the time is available - go fly! , beacause if you book a slot in the future, the Weather Gods get to hear about it and all hell breaks loose.
knobbygob - you have my sympathy as I don't recall having such extended periods of bad weather when I did my training.
I wonder how many grass airfields are toying with the idea of tarmac?
