is the weather in boston always this bad? for the last week it has been the foulest weather i've seen in a while. this morning i flew a pattern around KBOS and landed, {barely} in the kingair 350. although it wasn't raining, the winds and turbulence were terrible! add a blinding rain storm on top of that and that was what it was for most of the week. horrible flying conditions, maybe. it just makes me wonder if they allow the airport to stay open in that sort of weather. i also flew a few patterns in the 777 in those conditions and i know those real pilots earn their money. if you got the time, fly a pattern around KBOS with real weather to hone your IFR skills! william

Actually, William, it's been pretty nasty here for about the last week! :) We had the remnants of Bonnie come through, then Charlie, and afternoon and evening thunderstorms all week. Friday night/Saturday morning we had some real winners come through.Today, though, is a different story. Beautiful sunshine without a cloud in the sky. If your weather program is generating nasty weather today I'd check into where it's getting its' data from.Mike

hi mike, right, this morning visibility was 50 miles and the sun was out but VERY windy! it looks nice but up around 3 to 4000ft was on the bumpy side. roger on the 2 storms, i forgot about them. i live in south carolina and all i got was alittle rain. worse in other areas around here. i think i confused the last few days with todays weather up there. it IS better today but not very flyable for me, at those lower altitudes. i'd hate to have to land a real plane in that, like being out or VERY low on fuel or something. terrible situation. i guess i could have tightened the aircraft up a bit and made a better landing but i was just testing out my new AMD 3000 processor to check the framerates and boston couldn't have been a better place! LOL. thanks mike, william
