Waiting on Weather

After waiting three weeks for the final FAA paperwork to come through confirming the airworthiness of Wings With the Word's Cessna 402, we're now waiting on weather to fly the airplane. Pastor Todd Bell is down from Maine to pilot the aircraft and, after not flying yesterday because of the low, thick clouds...it looks like today could be another day of waiting for tomorrow.

The clouds are predicted to break up this afternoon providing a brief window for flight before the next weather pattern moves in tonight (MORE JANUARY RAIN), but the cloud cover was supposed to break up yesterday afternoon also, and never did.

So much of flying is so much waiting.

The airplane needs to fly for at least two hours to check all the systems and identify any remaining squawks that turn up. We'll see what God has planned.
