book

pilot. *Does such a book already exist?

about the above book as my next possible project, but would only
bother if I had a sense that there was real interest.

Weather is to a pilot as water is to a fish.
(you may quote me ;-).

Understandably weather in ground school was quite
superficial, as pilots are generally not academically
inclined, where alot of algebra is concerned, however
they tend to think in visualizations so use diagrams,
and comics. Vectors and vector analysis (without
calculus) is as deep as I'd go with GA pilots.

One of my hobbies is to watch the contrails as they
fade for signs of turbulence. I live near the Rockies
and right inside an airway so lots of jets fly high over.
*Also have a great view of final approach south into
Kelowna, going down the okenagan valley.

He's back! Let the bull**** low!

That's either very clever or a typo :-)
LOL

Typo, unfortunately.

Ah, such honesty and humility. Maxine will hate that answer!
;-)
Cheers

Nah, he'll just come up with another gay lame. It's what he does.
