Now that sounds a bit nerve-wracking (the entire approach in that weather).
Good story.


On top of that, it was starting to get dark... Don't remember if it
was just from the reduced light getting through the clouds or from the
time of the day... I was getting kind of late though... I do remember
having to pick my way between very large towers of black clouds on my
descent... I was able to stay to the west of it until I got to Ripon,
at which time, I had to go through some of it... End result was no
bent metal, so it was a good day...
