Dennis i think the issue is if you make a call out,cel phones are line of site cel tower to cel tower as you drive along the road,now the higher you go in the air your signal will reach mutable tower at same time cause corruption in system program not knowing how to deal with you at so many locations simultaneously. otherwise there would be optional $9.95 mo in air plan, thats the american way if theres a chance to make a buck lets do it. anyway that's my unauthorized opinion.

The best one I found was http://adds. aviationweather. noaa.gov/ At the top of the web page you can select radar or satellite depictions or winds aloft plus several other data sets. The radar page allows you to select a specific weather radar to give coverage anywhere in the country. The satellite feature gives a great regional overview for flight planning. Question is, how legal is it to access the internet on a wireless phone while airborne? I know we discussed using the phone feature is not legal, but how about the internet feature? Bart
