Default Who's Going To Be First?

I started this thread with tongue in cheek.

Note in the text that displayed weather is 5 minutes old (probably more than
that). A thunder storm can move just enough to kill you in that time if you
rely on these displays. See the following:

It would be nice to get satellite Wx to see the cloud patterns, like

work well above a few K feet AGL.


XM weather. Google it. Takes a subscription, but it's delivered by
satellite, so it will work no matter how high you are.
