No Go

As you probably guessed, my lesson was canceled today due to the tornadoes, storms, and winds. While sitting at home, I was thinking about flying related things.

Next Lesson

My next lesson is when this dumb spring weather goes away.  I’ve been trying to schedule a lesson for the past 2 weeks now with no luck.  I’ve looked at the forecast for the area, and there is either supposed to be heavy rain and thunderstorms or mostly cloudy skies.  I’m going to keep trying, but at the rate I’m at now, I won’t fly until June.  We’ll see though.  Anyway, thanks for reading!!!

Cancelled

As you’ve probably guessed, today’s lesson was canceled due to a few low clouds and some wicked wind.  I’m looking for a good date to reschedule but I can’t really find one.  I’ve been using the Weather Channel also to find a nice date, but unfortunately it looks like rain for the next two weeks.  One I have a better lookat the weather comming up, I’ll reschedule the lesson and let everyone know.  Thanks for reading!!!

Weather and Tomorrow

I just called the Lockheed FSS for the first time ever for an outlook briefing for tomorrows flight.  The man helping me was actually quite helpful.  He got me a few forecasts for the Northern Illinois area and explained them quite well.  Based on the forecast he gave me, tomorrow will probably be called off.  The forecast calls for winds at 13 knots gusting to 26 knots, rain clouds at 4,000 feet, and  rain showers in the vicinity of the airport; definitely not good conditions for a student pilot.  However, he did also say that the prediction ended at noon tomorrow so there is still a chance!  Let’s pray and hope for a nice day tomorrow.  Thanks for reading!!!

Canceled

Well, today was canceled due to weather. Johnny called my this morning explaining that because I don’t get to fly very often, it would be sort of a waste of my money. So I called the airport and we rescheduled for Thursday, May 1, from 1600 to 1900. I’m kinda of disappointed that I didn’t get to fly, but I’m glad he called it so I wouldn’t be wasting any money. Now there are 17,515 long, flightless minutes untill my next lesson. Thanks for reading.
