Default RE: No joy this weekend.

Jacksonville is pretty much a wind out as well.....I don't mind flying in the wind, but it's no fun when it's so windy you can't taxi because the wind is pushing the rudder over and you can't turn.
When the wind is out of the southwest like last Sunday we get some wicked rolling turbulence while on final. it stops about 100 ft from the threshold.....should have seen the neat crab while holding runway heading with my 18 LB Pitts Python.
It's supposed to be windy again today, But I'm going to try and fly the P-47 early before it gets to bad....
But you know what Dick.....I don't miss the snow....If I ever get to thinking snow is ok, I remind myself the snow is ok only on the first day.....
Heck this is Florida these people can't drive in rain.....I live in the single car accident capital of the world...can you imagine snow on the ground
