Default Flying through a sandstorm?

I've seen WN take off while extreme precip echoes were right on top of the field in Dallas, but flying through a sandstorm is new to me. Far more skilled airman than I will ever be. Be safe out there!

It's the sound Pamela Anderson makes when she sneezes.

Everyone knows that UFO's have far more sophisticated protective layering and haboob mitigation technology than a 737.
