On a late winter afternoon I decided to do a little flying in the Skyhawk. Made a quick flight plan from EHLE to EHGG. It was a bit cold, a little snow falling down, but the sun was still shining trough the clouds. Everything looked nice and calm.


Levelled her off at 2,000 ft. Nice flying, almost no turbulence. Put the pitot heat on, just to be sure...


Uh oh!  :o That looks bad! Better get her down quick!


Thunderstorm, turbulence, windshear, icing, heavy snow...    :'( Wasn't the best landing I ever made.


Pfew! I'm happy I finally parked her! Time for a hot drink...


Next time I take her out, I won't forget to have a glimpse at the weather report  :-[

(Can't see the snow in the pics, dunno why...)

Man, you make me chilly... and it's summer for crying out loud!  ;D

Nice shots!! That sun peeking thru the clouds looks darn nice!! Those are fine shots for FS8

Thanks! Sorry to make you scared/feel cold (wich one?) Omag.  ;D

Wow didnt know you could get Iceing effects in FS9 let alone 8

Oh I think it just messes with your readings. Wrong speed indications and stuff

Oh come come now! Everyone loves trying to fly around in some Thunderstorms in a little Cessna! I know I love doin it in a C-12! heh. Some nice shots though, very nice on the lightening shot.

No it looked to me like ice had formed around the wings, and cowling. Apparently its just the way it was painted.

the " i flown everywhere and this paint sucks" look

that's not called icing, that's called G-force 2  :P

Strange coincidence...we just had a series of bad storms that caused a lot of damage here in Michigan...

Our telecommunications firm has been busy with calls...on is a hotel in Mackinac City (three hours away...and no we can't fly there )

Their system done rode the lightning...

And I have no doubt the weather is not through...
