I would be extremely nervous in St Elmo's fire while flying one of our plastic toys. I remember having a ball of that stuff one night back in the 60's bouncing on the long pointed nose of the F9 I was flying and watching it fly up over my head across the bubble canopy. That was fun then but the amount of static electricity involved could be disastrous in a composite aircraft as I understand it. Hopefully you were flying a metal airplane then?

Yes I agree penetrating with adsb is a disaster waiting to happen. But great for avoidance. As you can see for planning with only the radar it looks like we could cut back west after the storm by our TOD. Not seeing the N-S line of storms behind it. We offset by 50nm and still got an amazing st Elmo's fire on the front window. Dry ice crystals really charged us up. > > Typing and grammar errors courtesy of Siri and the iPhone. > >> On Sep 30, 2013, at 7:57, John Barrett <2thman1@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Revealing photo, Todd. >> >> Not sure but does the iPad have a signal to generate the radar pictureat the time ofmthismphot? Or do I see a "searching" message in the upper left of the screen that would be telling you the information is not current but was picked up at the last time you had the Foreflight on and were getting a signal? Keep in mind the NEXRAD info is already history when you get it from a fresh signal. >> >> John Barrett >> >> Sent from my iPad >> >> >>> On Sep 29, 2013, at 7:53 PM, Todd Long <toddlong1@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>> Here is a comparison showing how much more info is shown on foreflight on the iPad vs onboard radar. The onboard can't see thru the storm to show what is on the other side.
