I was supposed to bring LSFM Corsair, but looks like the weather might prevent that.

The Corsair is a naval aircraft, a little water shouldn't hurt them? :lol:

When you are flying someone else's $2,000,000+ airplane it is best not to peel the paint by flying it in the rain, especially if you want to fly it again. :axe:

Hey Lynn A., I was also told that it's the backside of the Prop. Blades that collects the most bugs !? geek

It's easy for an armchair enthusiast like me to be flippant about such things :wink: There's a Spitfire IX based near me that won't fly past a certain weather threshold, and I'd rather it miss the occasional event because of bad weather there/en-route (as happened a year or two ago) than lose it altogether.

It is BACK! Cavanaugh's FG-1D has a new noisemaker and can once again turn 100LL into sweet music!
