The weather has been dismal for the last few days.  Nevertheless, I got out of bed at 5 a.m. to be at the club for an 8 a.m. flight with Charlie Foxtrot.  Looking out of the window and following the rain radars and METAR/TAF on teh Internet started to show a picture that kept me from leaving the house.  This was the very first time I saw a Johor METAR with “Clouds at 400 feet AGL”.    This means the cloud basically scrape  the ground and there is no way I would be taking off in these conditions.  Well, it would take me at least 2 hours to go to Senai, and I really wasn’t in the mood to go without at least a modest chance of flying.  So I kept haunting our apartment (my wife was commenting!) walking from one window to the other peering out into the dark to judge the weather.  Eventually I decided to stay home and sent a message to Captain Singh, who confirmed that there was no way I would be flying that day.  That somehow made me happy.  I know that the saying goes “Better to be on the ground wishing you were up there, than being up there wishing to be on the ground.”, but I would still have the feeling of a missed opportunity to fly if the weather had become better.
