Waiting Only On The Sky

AVweb's Picture of the Day for Sept. 4 shows a jet and its occupants at the one point every owner recognizes: aircraft ready, crew ready, nothing left to clear but the weather. The caption is spare — awaiting flight into clear skies — but it names the single variable that actually governs a departure. Not the airplane. Not the schedule. Just the sky, and whether it has opened up yet.
