Of special note is an interesting video:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/vqxvas9nov...Trail.mp4?dl=0
showing 5 minute updated GOES-16 satellite visible imagery 0.5km resolution for a region around Seminole in central Florida. John Mittel's igc flight track is "snail trailed". Using the IDV viewer, there's an overlay of the Seminole landout/TP's (purple '+' with number), airspace and a green box for Seminole itself.
Thanks to John Bird for writing the python script that translates the igc file to the netcdf track format for IDV.
Wow, are there available tools and instructions to make something like this out of any .igc file?
It would make a great online resource too - or maybe the Navier folks would put it on theirSeeYou future features list.
