Saw a revealing presentation at a NATCA controller's conference. They showed
a slide with several large cells being displayed, and indicated the position
of a 172 when the scenario began. The pilot told the controller that if he
could have a certain heading, he would be clear of the cell he saw on his
screen and could proceed to his destination. Unfortunately, by the time he
got to the geographical area which was nice and clear on his cockpit display
at the time he asked for the heading, the cell had moved directly into his
path with predictable results.

Do you have an NTSB report or an approximate date of this accident? As a
pilot of an aircraft equipped with in-cockpit WSI weather, I am interesting
in reading more of the details surround it.
