…is that I end up cancelling too many flights. Today’s flight to KAGC - Allegheny County Airport is a case in point.
The current radar picture shows that with a bit of flexibility of plans I could avoid the thunderstorms, although I’d probably be in a lot of rain and some turbulence. But in consideration of Vicki and Laura’s stomachs, and Vicki’s lack of flexibility, I have to cancel. If some more of that red stuff built up while we were en-route and we had to land to wait it out, Vicki can’t miss tomorrow’s work and we’d end up leaving the plane and renting a car to drive back, and that is too expensive and un-fun.

Some of those windbarbs have three full bars on them. That wouldn’t be a lot of fun to try to land with.
Better to be on the ground wishing you were flying than flying wishing you were on the ground.

Proof that airplanes and idiots don’t mix…
It’s a fairly well-established fact that airplanes and idiots don’t mix, much in the same way that monkeys, dynamite and matches are bad idea (but highly amusing to watch from a safe distance). Fortunately, there’s a fairly high bar…
