Going in Circles

Another trip through Delta hubs to get to Charleston.  This one wasn’t very direct

we’re heading over Dearborn past the Ford test track and we turn north and I look out the window and wonder “what the heck?”….I think the only reason here was to get us in the pattern to land, but, it sure did seem like a bizarre side trip (as opposed to just flying in and turning right)

and I’m not really paying attention as we fly but suddenly notice that the sun isn’t streaming in my window but is now on the other side of the plane.  Why the heck are we going north?  A minute later the pilot comes on and says the Cinci airport is closed for thunderstorms and we’re on hold….wasn’t that long and we swung around and headed back in
