On Friday afternoon, my co-pilot and I were scheduled to fly a King Air 200 plus 4 passengers from Memphis to Lexington, KY (about 1 hr 15 min) that would land at LEX around 4:45 pm EST. Friday morning we cancelled because winds were forecast up to 50 knots at LEX. Forecast turbulence also looked bad.
The actual surface winds at LEX around 4:30 pm EST were up to 60 knots.
I am happy to report that the crew and passengers are at their homes in the Memphis area and did not receive any injuries by staying on the ground.
