I have a friend who is a pilot. He gives me the tail number of the plane he is flying when he starts out and I can go to a web site and pull it up. It is so interesting to watch as he makes his way from one place to another.

Lately, the weather has been bad for flying. We talked about it yesterday and he was telling me how he is diverted a bit on flights to avoid bad weather. When he started out today, the weather was fine at the airport he was leaving. However, rain and storms can pop up from out of no where in the south. One can see on the photo how he had to avoid several storms. It seems that he hit one storm right after leaving and flew between two others. As a rule, he doesn't fly over water to get to Ft. Lauderdale but he did today as can be seen on the photo.

I thought y'all might enjoy seeing a photo that I captured of his flight. He has just now landed save and sound. I hope yáll enjoy seeing this.

Mend for friends who need to keep up with each other, this is great. It is also nice for anyone who is out and about without anyone knowing. If something happens to them, at least they can be found.

Nothing Gregg. In that area, there are many military sites and planes can not fly over certain areas until they are at a certain altitude.

For those who wanted the address it is:
