Never mind the wind,,,,this is why I satyed at home!

Post by brian day »

Everyone should be able to name this cloud formation and what will happen to a paraglider that is even this close to one.
So, this is why I decided to stay at home yesterday and not bother going flying on a paraglider! To many of these hanging around the sky!

Cumulus Nimbus CB or Cu Nimb for short. General aviation don't fly within 10NM of these. The name Nimbus means water or rain baring. :P
