RE: Interesting morning at the field
Been there. Done that. Got the T-shirt.
My former club had an airstrip on the ridge of a hill. One day it had been raining but cleared off while we waited in the pavillion. When it passed I got out first and took off under what looked like grey clouds. At about 50 ft the airplane disappeared into them! I dropped the throttle and gave left rudder and, happily, the model came back into view well above the weeds & trees and I brought her in and we talked flying until the sky cleared.
