The goggles added a little flair but when he discarded a LIT cigar from the airplane over brush land
it provoked me a little. Poor California.
Agreed but Poor BC as well.
July-Sept are usually the best flying months but I haven’t been up this month because of the smoke. The whole west coast needs rain badly!
Hope your timber is o.k. Bill
I guess really we should add Washington, Idaho, Montana, Alberta and Saskatchewan to the list.
This has been the new norm, the Sun 1.5 hours after sunrise YVR (08:30 AM). Its never ever been this bad.
Planning a 170 trip from San Luis Obispo, Ca to Omaha, Ne via Scottsdale, Northern NM and Central Kansas. Does anyone know if the smoke is affecting VFR flights in those general areas? I'm planning for mid Sep so, I know it's a bit far off but.....starting to plan
Last week we had a couple of days with showers, air cleared up. This week the sun was out and unfortunately the smoke returned but not as bad as August. In the northwest we can now expect the return of the winter rains. Water is on its way either by the lows rolling out and down from the Bering straight with lowering freezing levels, low ceilings and steady quiet rain or the Hawaiian expresses with their torrential walls of water roaring their way north from the mid Pacific. We need either to finally suppress the fire activity .
