Seriously, I mean, the past 2 weekends in a row I've been out flying in 15 or 16 degree sunny weather. The skies are blue, the field is fantastic, temperatures are great, no bugs or high winds. I'm so stressed, all you lucky snow bound buggers, your airplanes will last so much longer and you will save so much $$$ in fuel!!!! We started so early this year, I just hope everything last long enough to make it to building season!
LOL
Sorry guys, had to, I hope everyone else has things warm up ASAP. This has been a fantastic year so far for flying. I can't believe the weather out here in the lower mainland!!!!!!!

Re: Everyone east of the West coast, you're so lucky!!!

Thanks for rubbing it in!! LOL, I was out flying today too, but it was a balmy -3 degrees C, no wind. Great day of flying regardless, it's a huge change from the -27 we've been getting waaaaaaayyy too much of lately.

I took this as a pretty low blow Jeremy until I seen a gas price thing on Global yesterday and I noticed gas prices were 40 cents a liter higher in Vancouver than in Edmonton

That said, I'm itching to get flying though!

I was out flying on Saturday in a T-shirt.
