This was our Cappy yesterday.......flying into PHX......he was in the "Mother" of all "Holding Patterns.......because of a friggin sand storm........but this was a Doozy........any way they are called 'Haboob's.......
The word "Haboob" comes from the Arabic word
habb, meaning “wind.” A haboob is a wall of dust as a result of a
microburst or downburst. The air forced downward is pushed forward by
the front of a thunderstorm cell, dragging dust and debris with it, as
it travels across the terrain.....
Check out this 'Sand Storm'.........and how it has pilots playing 'Etch-a-Sketch'....in the sky........!!
