Default METAR notation as a foreign language. Was: Iowa Aviation Weather...en Espanol

Because lets face it, METAR code is a foreign language which originated
from aliens from a another planet


For sure!

What I find hilarious is when the FAA says they use these
abbreviations because of "limited computer capacity"...

We actually had an FAA geek state that at a Safety Seminar a few years
ago. Even then, before the days of 400 gigabyte PC hard drives, the
room erupted in laughter.
