It’s pretty great. He keeps the plane at Myrtle Beach, so it only made sense to have him fly. It’s a shame though, I think his performance got cut short by the traffic.

It is still early in the week, but the extended forecast from Wednesday through Sunday looks like clouds and rain so this one might be a washout. Fingers crossed for it to improve, but it would have to be a pretty radical shift in the weather for that to happpen.

Thanks for the heads up. This one is already proving more tedious than it’s worth, so with the forecast the way it is, I’m probably gonna cancel my plans.

Looks like I’m not the only one canceling plans. Got a notification from the app that the Saturday show has been completely cancelled due to high probabliluty of storms. Idk why they think Sunday will be any different, but the show is now SUNDAY ONLY.

Probably because the Saturday forecast has stayed almost identical to what it is now, whereas the Sunday one has been incredibly fluid, I've seen everything from 30% chance of showers to 90% chance of scattered thunderstorms...
