Flight to Florida -- The Cure for Winter

Like GPS, XM weather is undoubtedly great, but it's an aid rather than a
necessity.

Absolutely right. Heck, I know a guy who went coast to coast last year
without ever turning a radio. Everything beyond wings and an engine is
just fluff, in his world.

But if you want to do multi-day cross-country flights regularly, with
confidence, it's hard to beat XM in the cockpit. It simply paints a big
picture of what's ahead in-flight, and that can't be had in any other way.

Yes I have a 496 with XM. I use it for IFR flight.

So please tell me which XM Data display you use to ensure you maintain
VFR conditions?

(Hint: There is none.)

Precisely. Thank you for making my point.


Yeah, right.

Really? Such as and working for whom?

None of your damn business, fake fly boy.

Ouch, laid off? I was going to have you meet me at NAS JAX or Mayport,
to buy you a bucket of oats on me, My Little Trick Pony.

If you think XM is gonna save your ass as a VFR only pilot,.....

Dan,
Friendly advice,... relax. You're on your way to usenet burnout.

State your opinion and move along,... nobody likes a ball hog at the
dunktank.

;-)

Mike, I apologize and take my share of the blame. Dan follows me around,
which is my fault, I call him My Little Trick Pony and Oh Boy does it
get under his fur, er skin.

He has promised to retrieve the newsreader he wrote in 1983. I gave him
a list of free newsservers, he will be killfiling me. Soon, all this
will be over

I appreciate your patience with My Little Trick Pony.

Sorry about that Jay, I had that FAR, I was taunting My Little Trick
Pony, Dan.

Appreciate the effort and have enjoyed your description of your flight
down my way.

Admit it, fakeFlyBoy -- you had no clue, and asking that exposed your
ignorance.

He doesn't need to -- the more you post the more you are exposed,
