Flying towards a Typhoon

I'm off to Manila to deliver the R8 pre-launch technical enablement. When we taxied away the pilot announced flight path and weather forecast. He casually mentioned, that it might become a bumpy ride since north of Manila a Typhoon is whirling along. While I have confidence in the craft of Boeing and the skills of the Singapore Airlines pilots, that announcement made my heart beat slightly faster. Hhm. Better distract myself with part 2 of an unfinished story.

Update: The Typhoon decided to go elsewhere and the story is finished (for now)
