This is going to slow down the thaw on the lakes. crymeariver
BRRRRRRRRRRRR. Who opened the freezer door. Spent a good portion of the nite on the flight line. Its one thing when its cold, but when that north wind came down on us, it was BRRRRRRRRRRR.
I don't doubt your weather, you guys get them lousy noreasters. But we still have July, August and winter here. Sometimes I wander when July & August are going to come. violin I've been at the Gorge when violent storms have hit in July, high winds, hail, thunder & lightning and even snow. There's nothing like watching a few brave souls out on the lake skiing or doing some kind of water sport.
Back in January, we were launching 6 Aviono, Italy jets at 0230. Every night there was a reason why they wouldn't go. We started on Monday and it would be about 35 degrees. Not bad for a launch. Buy the time Thursday came around, temps dropped to about 5 to 10 degrees with a wind blowing that night. We finally got them on their way but I payed a price on that one. After all the crawling around on a frozen ground, I tore the maniscus in my left knee. Had it surgically repaired a month ago. When all 6 jets were up and running, you can feel the air flowing more around them. It got BRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
The jet I launched had the last 3 numbers 777. It was known as triple 7. After what it to me all week, I started calling it cripple 7. There's more to the story that I won't get into. It had problems of its own.
