Stuck in a Hole


Had a nice 2 hour flight in Springfield yesterday. Took off around noon. 4 kt thermals to 6K. I was able to climb to 9K in a wave window but the hole in the clouds was only a mile or two wide. Couldn't climb high enough to go over the clouds (tops were about 10K) and had to go below 6K to get under them so I was pretty much stuck in the hole.

When I left Springfield at 3, Walter and Jerry were just starting out in the PW6 at 6K over Ascutney.

There are still a lot of opportunities to fly in Springfield before Post Mills Airport opens in the spring.

Good flying, Tim! You will win the prize for being the least rusty when we start flying at Post Mills.
