Looking back, our last flight north was May 2016. The following year we missed due to my left foot surgery and recovery time. As for last year, well, let's not revisit that summer of Doctors, hospitals and rehab.
The weather was looking great this morning all along the route north. I would file, my first time back in the system since June 2018. I am current but not as proficient as I would like. Maybe that should read not as confident, I'm plenty proficient with the plane and systems. Getting the ticket wet is another story and that's my confidence issue.
The sky was looking ugly here in Ocean City and the winds were picking up way ahead of the 2-3pm noted times in the MOS forecast. I drove through some light sprinkles on the way to the airport and had a few drops while I drove around assessing the sky conditions.
So with the fuel good to go, I completed my pre-flight. Today's decision is a no-go. I'm thinking about a Friday or Saturday flight north instead.
