Final Approach
...to an airplane?
Was at the airport today and expected to fly. Just when it's nearing launch time the snow comes down (was watching it approaching on radar beforehand anyhow). Based upon the rate and reduced visibility, the flight was scrubbed.
Someone asked why we weren't flying, to which I (sarcastically) replied "The Skyhawk doesn't have FIKI." Mr. Oneupmanship retorts that snow will not adhere to an airplane.
I look out the window and see the snowflakes fall to a wet ground and cease to become snow. I note the temperature at the surface is <30 dF and I'm skeptical (despite the experience of the commenter).
Make this make sense for me.
