Well, Herb, I guess you told me.Â* And revealed a lot about yourself in
the process.

Another question: why go flying in such conditions? Speak up at your club if you feel conditions are unsafe for operations.

Uhhh...Â* Because that's when you can get some of the best flights. If
you don't like the conditions, don't fly.Â* It's as simple as that.Â* Why
should I not fly if you don't like the conditions?Â* Let me make that
decision for myself.

I have taken off in similar conditions many times.Â* Most often I land
quickly due to not finding the lift, but sometimes there's a spectacular
flight in the works!Â* Is this going to turn into the next "Hard Deck"
thread?

And, BTW, our NTSB could learn a lot from the Brits when it comes to
accident reporting of general aviation accidents.

But you are God's test pilot, Dan. Nobody's business to tell you when not to fly, oh Almighty. For the mere mortals and especially the dummies who don't know better, I suggest some friendly advice might be appropriate. Might save a life here and there...
