Shake rattle and roll
Strange you should say that. My editor at KP wanted me to do my December
column (due yesterday, Monday) on the "Best Of Show" awards we gave out at
Oshkosh. One of the awards was for the new DUATS Golden Eagle 07 software
that is truly quite amazing.
To give it some life, I fired Eagle up on Sunday afternoon and decided to
show how you could use it to go from Ainsworth NE to Iowa City IA with that
same big hunking line of crap around Omaha. Just left clicked and dragged
the flight line down to Lincoln, then did a few screen captures and viola,
instant graphics for the article.
Seems both of us used that same storm system at the same time for different
purposes.

Spent a couple of hours with the family, then blasted off at 5:30.
Before hopping in the plane I was stunned to see a HUGE blow-up of
weather over Omaha, hurtling toward Iowa at 40 knots! TOTALLY
unpredicted, quite violent, and we sweated it all the way home,
watching XM on the 496 as the system slowly engulfed Iowa like a huge
amoeba...
