GlobalFlyer -- Pacific Jet Stream Charts?

That was my hit too, seems that if he goes north of Hawaii and hits Baja Ca
then into southern Texas, then says to hell with it and takes a straight
shot profile descent for Kansas he has a chance.

But AGAIN, how do you read these charts. You say the grey bands indicate
wind speed. How? They all look the same grey to me. How do you
differentiate between the jet stream wind velocities?

The grey bands indicate wind speed. The legend is at the bottom of the
image. It appears that if he takes a more southerly tack, he might be
able to keep a good boost.

Happy Flying!
