R44 flying todayThe day started off looking calm and very nice, but the weather forecast had predicted gale force winds from about 10 am, and they were right. The wind howled and I decided not to go to the airfield as there was no chance that we would fly. Instead I spent a part of the afternoon picking up roof tiles off my lawn and inspecting the roof at home.
