Line Up and Wait
Friday night while I was heading to Houston from Louisiana.........
There were small T-Storm cells all over the place & growing in size & numbers quickly. Just about the time I was passing the Dasetta VOR I felt like I hit a truck & the plane went down & my head went up & hit the plane hard. Thank God my lightspeeds have a big head pad. This has happened to me at least once before in all the planes I have owned, but I didn't expect it to happen in the Caravan. There is at least 12-18 in head room & the plane is usually rock stable at 4850 empty weight, 1200 lbs of fuel & 1000 lbs cargo.
Well in the short 20 miles from there to Houston it happened twice more. When I got to Houston & opened the cargo door, My boxes were scattered all the over the place. I saw a lot of fragile stickers on the boxes... Oh well, Sorry
