"An air traffic controller didn’t tell Scott Crossfield he was headed for
a storm, but then Crossfield didn’t ask, either."
The avweb article links to this Washington Post story:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...091501434.html I
think I read in the NTSB preliminary report that Scott had an XM weather
subscription. Since I'm a user of the XM product, I'd be interested in
knowing whether he was displaying the NEXRAD in the cockpit, and what it
showed.

Don't forget the AFSS briefings and service is **** now that contractors
and the FAA have turned the AFSS service into a cluster **** giant turd.
Also notice most of the EFAS and AFSS frequencies in Georgia(Along Scott's
flight path) stay broke all the time.
Evidently, it wasn't all that great before hand, either.
