In a nutshell, I'm trying to gauge the potential interest in a book
that would satisfy the curiosity of the more scientifically minded pilot. Does such a book already exist? I would personally find such a book interesting. Unfortunately, with pilot numbers dropping, I suspect your efforts wouldn't get you on the NY Times best-seller list... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

I have the good fortune of having a daughter who is a meteorlogist (as is her boyfriend). We were flying and saw this really wierd cloud. We were having dinner with them that evening (not bad considering I only see the kid about 5 time a year) and they had the cloud named in a few minutes and said "That's really weird that you saw that as it only occurs at the point of a wind shear and the shear usually takes all the moisture out of the cloud". Once I told them we were over a lake at the time they just nodded and said "local moisture source". the cloud looked like a corkscrew laying on it's side. If I'd had a clue I would have climbed 2,000 feet and avoided having my teeth knocked around! Margy |

I'm sure I don't need to remind you, Margy, of the old maxim that a student
pilot spends literally WEEKS studying about weather, the private pilot spends DAYS planning a flight, the commercial pilot spends an hour or two before a long flight, and an ATP can just take one good look at a flight attendant and tell whether.
