tomorrow it will be Val's turn once again to take the Civvie up for a flight, hoping to finally bring it back down on the runway this time!

waiting on the Wx report after sunrise, already seems to be rather breezy outside. Val is reporting to the SPH this morning regardless

Wx report confirms that winds out of the NE @ 15-18 kts will not allow flights today - crosswind + tail wind not good for westerly takeoffs

still, C7 engineers want Val out in the Civvie taxiing around to see how the aircraft handles the high winds while on the ground

Val is taxiing in after 20min of groundwork. Civvie weathercocking was as expected, will continue to monitor Wx for flight conditions
