Subject: Pietenpol-List: Brodhead Flight QuestionableWell, things just haven't been working out. After securing 56 lbs of cargo in the front pit, before dawn this morning, I called weather brief, and he said"Have you looked at the weather this morning on your route of flight ??" I thought...hummmm...this can't be good. It turns out there is a HUGE system all up through my flight path, with the worst of it around Kansas City. Tops at50,000, 1 mile visibility, hail, and all kinds of nasty stuff, and moving East...you get the picture. He said I might be able to get through between 9amand 12pm, but this is a big storm. Not worth the risk. My only hope of makingBrodhead this year, is if this system is through enough later on today, and I could make the North side of Kansas City, and find a place to pitch my tent, then make the remainder of the trip on Saturday morning.Chuck G.NX770CG________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Brodhead Flight QuestionableI wondered about you Chuck. Since I can't go this year I was sittingaround this morning feeling sorry for myself and pulled up the DUATSweather graphics. Ain't no way I could have gone today. The same frontthat is causing you problems stretches all the way to Maine, and I wouldhave to cross it somewhere or other. The mountains in your old stompinggrounds are IFR or marginal VFR today. By this afternoon it is gonnaget worse for me, but you might be able to get out - particularly if yougo north first, then east towards Wisconsin.For me, it looks like I wouldn't be able to make it to Brodhead untilMonday at the earliest. Just as well i can't go this year - I'd reallybe crying if I had everything in place but the weather shut me down.Jack PhillipsRaleigh, NCHoping to get some Pietable weather sometime this weekend.-----Original Message-----[mailto:owner-pietenpol-list-server(at)matronics.com] On Behalf OfRcaprd(at)aol.comSent: Friday, July 21, 2006 11:34 AMWell, things just haven't been working out.
