As I passed Atlanta, the skies went from sunny to cloudy, which was as advertised, but as I neared the South Carolina state line, the weather wasn’t lifting.

We had been lifted above our assigned altitude.” Our return flight was by a safer, much smoother route. Think of the Great Basin High as a set of bellows pointed at southeastern Wyoming. Airspeed was approaching VMO.

So lifting off Van Sants, in eastern Pennsylvania, and just heading west is a great relief and flying is flying again. With this, our present frequencies could be for all the other messages, flight plans, etc. It would lift during the day and lift into scattered stratocumulous. The tops wouldn’t be high.

These flights work best if they are limited to an airport 10 to 15 miles away. VFR to MVFR…then 2 miles visibility and a ceiling of 1,200 feet agl.
