Well after a lot of work all week (and for the past few weeks), the fly in is finally here. The weather forecast for the weekend has been nothing but CAVU and warm temperatures. Even this morning was forecast clear skies all weekend. But by afternoon it was apparent that was going to change. Eventually a monster thunderstorm developed over the North Cascades and flowed west over Concrete. The result was torrential rain for about 15 minutes with thunder and lightening as people scrambled to cover open cockpits and run for cover. Eventually the rain subsided, but everything was quite wet. The upside is the grass should be a bit greener in the near future and the fire danger is down.
Hopefully the weather will look better tomorrow for the busiest day of the fly in. There should be some great planes flying in and scroll down a post to see the schedule for the weekend. Hope to see you up here!
