Letter From the Editor

lightingDear Readers,

As the summer rapidly approaches, I sit in my home office constructing this letter as an impending line of thunderstorms barrels down on Eastern Pennsylvania, and I am reminded of the dangers of flying near and around thunderstorms.  I once had a Captain query me, “Which do you prefer, flying in snow and ice during the winter or in the summer with these ‘blasted’ thunderstorms that just seem to put a halt to everything?”  We were sitting in a hardstand awaiting our taxi time, so I had some time to think about his question.  Each weather event has their own unique dangers and both have taken lives.  Eventually, the weather came and went and we were able to make it safely to our destination, but I was never able to personally come up with a definitive answer to his question.  Email me your thoughts on which weather event you feel possess more danger.

I would like to remind my fellow aviators, Fly Safe tonight, and the rest of the summer!

Thank you!

Craig D. Pieper
