Good morning, Happy Monday, and Welcome to 2011! This is going to be the year I finally get this blog off the ground and into the air (or out of the air and onto the ground, depending on my subject matter!). I'm looking forward to sharing my geo-adventures as well as aviation links and news and the chronicle of my eventual return to the left seat.
I will begin this year with a really useful link that comes from the fine folks in the FlightAware Forums:
NOAA Center Weather Service Unit Homepage This page shows all the Air Traffic Center boundaries for the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii. In addition, airports that report either a METAR or TAF are show and you can receive that information by mousing over the airport. A box will pop up with the METAR or TAF information in it. It's a nice way to see local and regional weather, as well as getting a feel for what flying around in a sector is going to be like today.
Hope you enjoy! Tomorrow I have some geology links, but they shall be in their own post.
Blue Skies!
