My Personal Collection of WX Links:
Not Lockheed Martin, but Not Bad Either
10:52 PM
- Tonight at a great party of the Lane County chapter of the Oregon Pilot's Association, a good friend of mine who is a student pilot asked what weather sites I use to make intelligent go, no-go decisions.
- I explained that while Internet weather is great, in many cases it is not a substitute of a real, live telephone briefing. Sure, when it is "clear and a million" and the mission is a VFR flight to chase hamburgers, the web can be fine for your weather briefing. But if your planning an IFR flight in IMC, the web gives you a great look at the "big picture" but you really need to call Lockheed Martin at 1-800-WX-BRIEF before you go wheels up to do battle with towering cumulus and lowering freezing levels.
- So here is my current collection of weather sites and links. The first grouping is the Jet Stream panels, because any interpretation of aviation weather cannot be made until you understand what the jet stream is doing. The second grouping marked "Flight Briefing" is the daily use sites, the really important ones I use every day even when I am not flying.
Enjoy*...and please note I ripped these straight out of Safari and did not test each link, so if you come across any dead ones, just move along.
