Day 4 dawned wet and we wandered around a largely deserted Corfu town. Around 2:45 pm, we heard the sound of a light aircraft and saw an unmistakeable Piper Malibu on base leg for runway 35 at Corfu. Not long after, a slightly stirred Phil arrived at the hotel having flown through the cold front over Italy with embedded CB’s at FL250.
The forecast for the following day was not good; said cold front would be over Greece generating ice at my flight levels and effectively keeping me grounded.
