Care to tell us about it?
For reputable folks like CWE and PilotDAR,
I would provide pics and my brothers phone number ( he was sitting in the right seat )
and there was 11 other folks who were there AND saw the wind meter in the broken glass and ceiling tiles covered little terminal building. So ANYONE else who does not take my words as truth can go kindly fornicate with themselves
Many years ago, I received a call from a Mexican who spoke little English. After a couple of calls and minimal conversation, he was asking me for information to send his deposit to. I got the deposit and sent him the purchase agreement. So far so good I said!
The A/C in question was a little C-150 10500 TTSN and a time X engine ( but safe) The paint and interior was in poor shape but mechanically sound. I think the final sale price was around $13000 My mother called me about that time and indicated my brother Lee was suffering from a little depression due to relationship issues so I called him and we arranged to go together to Calexico ( Mexicali was on the other side of the border fence and the "ultimate" destination) The buyer paid for all the expenses including return airfare for me only through Los Angeles ( Wherever MGM is located) Our first important stop out of eastern Ontario was great lakes aero products to pick up a windshield and rear window, which fit in the back nicely, along with the 2-3 spare cylinders ( all part of the deal) We continued along the journey in fine weather and ran across a small shop with an A/P who would lend us a few tools so we got to work installing the windows! After that, we headed off through the mid-west of America. At one point, I looked down and mentioned to my brother, I said: look at that 45 gallon drum being blown across the field. He said NO, that is a 200 gallon plastic drum, at which point I turned into the wind, and added flap and power, and we were going backwards! . We continued our journey and I got on the horn looking for a place to land due to wind concerns. At this point I was looking partly out the side window to see the direction of flight! I located a AP with a fairly long runway into wind in the supplement and headed there. On approach the winds were too turbulent and too much of a downwash so I aborted that idea and continued to my planned destination airport. Just after this time , you would see the visibility lower and dust appear ( it is rare for me to see this from where I came from so no big alarms went off in my head, neither did the pre-flight forecast cause me any concern) As we were getting near our destination the ceiling and vis continued to drop in the ever increasing dust storm no doubt aided by the mountains to the west. We called the airport com freq but to no avail, then called FSS and had them phone the airport. I wanted help when we landed. The FSS finally got a hold of the terminal operator, he had been cut by the large glass window that blew into the terminal building and was mending himself when I tried to hail him on the com. the ceiling tiles were blown down as well what a mess ! They managed to get 11 locals together to meet us as we approached to land.
