Flying in the Rain
Wednesday, March 4th, 2009
Minsiu gets his yellow Slow Stick ready for a wet flight.
This morning, I pulled up to Baylands just as the rain got serious.
The gathering clouds blotted out the sun and started spitting as I exited Highway 101 at Lawrence Expressway.
Driving the half mile to the park, I advanced the windshield wiper setting from intermittent to a slow steady pace.
When I arrived, Dave North was sitting in his black Honda Civic del Sol, waiting for the showers to clear.
He joined me in the front seat of my Prius and we watched as water splatted amoeba patterns on the windshield.
Amazingly, someone was flying a Stryker on the Great Meadow, ignoring the rain.
