Very wise  :-)   I'd be a bit concerned that NOAA might close their
service if they realize an increasing amount of requests from the same
host for the same airfield within a too short timeframe.
Wouldn't it make sense to evaluate the timestamp of each dataset and
delay the next request for the same airfield at least until 50 minutes
have elapsed since timestamp generation ?
