Default Angel Flight today

Whew. Did my second Angel Flight today. 4.4 hours round trip. Flew from KSPI
(Springfield, IL) down to KEVV (Evansville, IN) to pick up pax. Took her
back up to KPIA (Peoria, IL). Got about 30 miles from PIA & was staring at a
wall of grey. Got vectored around that mess for a visual approach in some
rain.
Once on the ground I saw the line of green with quite a bit of yellow that
we circled around. Blech. 15 minutes later, we (co-pilot & I) flew back to
SPI in bright blue sunshine. Looked back over our left shoulder at a nice
white anvil receding in the distance.

2nd leg pilot had his work cut out for him. He had to take her up to
Rochester, MN. Hope they made it ok.
