Flying with strong winds

by Dennis Goedegebuure Leave a Comment

I’m about to fly out from San Francisco International Airport, SFO, where there is currently a strong wind and heavy rain. Sometimes it makes me a little nervous, especially with the take off.

Wind comes from SSE, which means the planes will take off with the wind in the back.  Winds at 48km/h, gusting to 58km/h.

On my way to SFO, a large tree fell over the 280 South bound, which made an ugly traffic jam for the people going south. Lucky me I had no delays.

Update: after rain comes the sunshine. Just one hour later, the sky is clearing, sun pops through the clouds and rain has stopped.

Too bad the crew arrived late at SFO because of the weather and traffic. Now so much for the planning of coming early!
