Hear, hear.

What's appalling is that it never happens for many instrument students,
either.

As to the XM WX thing, I've got it, use it and love it. I don't imagine
that it makes me immune to getting killed by a CB, though. Anyone who
launches blind with the intention of playing video games with the weather is
a statistic looking for a crater.
