Sharing this just for grins: Climbing north out of U77, Spanish Fork, Utah, just south of the great Salt Lake (see below) on my way home to Seattle/Everett, I could see lightening blasting across the middle of the lake from the clouds above, airliners were requesting deviations for weather, and I was contemplating the energy of one of those lightening strikes (16 at the time on the screen LTNG) in a very electrically conductive carbon plane with 105 gallons of 100 octane on board -- I figured I was a flying bomb. Mountains on the east and restricted areas to the west and north -- so thanks to my cool Chelton system with WSI weather overlay, I threaded the needle of restricted areas to the west and lived happily ever after.
Being an old steam gauge guy (that I still have for backup), I certainly appreciate the functionality of the new systems.
Cheers,
