Its been snowing here in lovley england and I think the cant clear the runway in Birmingham. there are 7 large aircraf stacking just west of my house! at about 5 to 8 thousand ft all following each other round, landing lights and all! I'm just amazed because i never thought I had a stacking site above my house. Sorry for sounding a bit sad.

Had a snowstorm come through my area too :-/

Hope it clears up so I can go flying

Well, we were told last week that it was coming so they had plenty of time to prepare for it. From the reports on the radio it seems that most of the country is at a standstill. The truth is that we're not used to snow in this country so the authorities cannot deal with even a comparatively small amount. Other countries with regular heavy snowfall throughout the winter seem to have few problems & probably laugh their heads off at our pathetic efforts.

Meanwhile, in the south where I live, we had one clap of thunder about 1 hour ago followed by a light dusting of snow. That's all I've seen all day so far & it's stopped snowing now.

It's so dry over here (New Zealand) that everytime I taxi my Hercules out I set fire to the grass.

LMAO@ your signature quote Sam....that's great.

Cheers lol.
I thought u were taking the mick out of the harrier, lol, shouldnt jump 2 conclusions should I!!
Still, the only other vertical take off/land aircraft i know of is the Yak-141 (Freestyle), Have a look.

Are there any harrier's that you can get to hover???  I haven't found any and, if there are, it isn't easy to get them to do so.

lol, yes there is on in jets for FS02 but its not the best model, but still fun to have a play with.

The weather is perfect here in Florida. It is currently 10.9 degrees and I'm loving every minute of it. I've been experiencing the best flying weather of my life (not in the sim but in real life).

Well, I hope you don't get any Coke bottles falling there.
