Re: Amazing weather
Agree with all. Great Video! The Vertical Cumulus cloud buildups remi.ded me of my 2nd PP Cross Country flight in N9784U, a C-150 with 1 VOR way back in '76.
Left Dubois PA, for BWI beautiful Summer afternoon, and crossing Phillipsburg at 5500, the Cus started building so fast they were getting higher faster than I could climb. Meandered between but ended up in the soup s headed Due E for Heading, wings level in climb safety.Broke out above clouds just as plane was reaching service ceilng, think I was above 10'000, maybe at 11,500. Had lost PSB VOR signal and could not yet Receive Harrisburg VOR. Maybe 20 mins was able to reach Harrisburg Approach . Got Xpdr ID'd and a vector 110deg. Not bad.
Once E of the Curving Ridges, was Clear below and recognized the geography & Roads & Rivers, having spent a year rarning my Masters Ed Admin at Penn State (73) and driving Baltimore Thru Harrisburg to State College pretty much monthly for a few years after Graduating.
Was quite lesson in Cu Builup and focusing on Flying basics, Lindbergh Dead Reckoning.
