It’s been a rotten spring in so many ways. For Mia and I the flying season never really took off. A few nice days here and there (for the lucky ones) but no real trend setting up for some classic Fraser Valley spring conditions. Not saying that all the flying was bad, but it seemed that every time we thought we could count on a “great day”…. somehow mother nature would schedule a new weather event to put the damper on our plans.
Adding to the dark spring, a number of tragic flying accidents shook our local Fraser Valley community.
Here’s the thing about these accidents, they act as a wakeup call, they remind us that flying is a very demanding pursuit and as the expression goes, “a very harsh task master”. Even the simplest of mistakes can compound to deadly circumstances. If these accidents serve any purpose I would hope it would be to remind us that we have to bring our “A” game everyday.
I’m late writing anything in my blog, always seemed to have other stuff to do. Right now I’m enjoying time off in Mansfield and I’m pleased to say enjoying some wonderful airtime. It may have been a “Rotten Spring” but things are looking up. More to come…..
