windy shorts
Posted: Thu May 21, 2009 2:20 pmtook a stopping flight in the shorts from Dyve to Edinburgh, picking up in Dundee.
1st stage from dyce to Dundee was uneventful, but the weather closed in whilst waiting at dundee. the wind picked up and hail and thunder roared around us
just after take off over north fife. clouds gathering.
climbing to skim the clouds, only 40 miles to go, arms tired from buffeting winds
Some breaks in the clouds but not in the wind
Lined up 15 miles out, fly straight in, now a headwind but stormy seas
Finally down looking cool and relaxed for the passengers. globe span in background
got the night flight back next :-/
