After an hour of trying we returned to base. Winds still too high for afternoon mission. 1 hour 15 minutes.
Across Flanders the story is the same: Overcast skies, extremely high winds, dust blowing everywhere. Takeoffs are treacherous and landings even more so.
The Verdun sector is plagued with pouring rain. No one is flying today.
