Hello fellow netters. The weather issue sits hard on me. I have not regularlly attended the gatherings, and I hesitate to chine in on this except!!! Both of the gatherings I flew to had weather problems. I agree with Colin in that as a non IFR pilot in a pretty well equipted KR with 20 plus years of flying my KR, I had to deal with the worst conditions on both occasions. Those who remember Barkley 2000 know that all the drivers went home on sunday and the flyers had to stay for 3 extra days to get out of the valley. Last year was even more exciting flying through haze soo bad I had to use all my limited IFR training. It did not help that on the way home my engine quit in that same haze and thank god for the gps, which showed me my nearest was only 7 miles dead ahead.
I second the recommendation that all recent attendies be allowed to vote on a date. Orma Tweetie still sick from cam indigestion
