OK Dave, but unless it drains off a fair bit tonight it will still be marginal tomorrow. There are several patches of water in amongst the runway turf which would make things difficult for mowers as well as planes. Another option might be to take a couple of whipper-snippers over there and walk the runway sweeping the paspalum. It could really do with a proper mow, the whipper-snippers would only be a quick stop-gap for the day.
I've just noticed that Willy has improved the forecast for the weekend - Saturday shows 55% chance of 1 - 5mm and Sunday shows no rain! However it shows 95% chance of 5 - 10mm for Monday, which could be brought forward as the weekend progresses. Maybe mowing later in the day tomorrow to prepare for Sunday is the go.
Junior and I were thinking of a trip to PEMAC tomorrow as a preference as he wants to get some more driving time in his "L" plate logbook.
