Are Planes taking off in Thunderstorms normal?
wrote in message ups.com... http://www.thenewstribune.com/886/story/55281.html It had waited an hour because of the rain, and so one would think that the severe part of the thunderstorm had moved out of the flight path. So under those qualifications, yes, they take off and land with thunderstorms in the area, all of the time. Take a look at this page, and scroll down to the file called "FedEx Diversions" to see how planes will zoom in close to and around thunderstorms. -- Jim in NC

I had this idea that that is why all heavies have doppler radar to avoid the CU's
