How is this relevant to real world aviation??

[hmkane]

It involves the weather, which has an effect on aviation.

[N1RG]

But weather and aviation are seperate. Most people would agree that weather posts in a Real Aviation Category don’t belong

[hmkane]

Technically yes, but I do see something up there about weather planes. It’s maxmustang, so I don’t understand most of it.

[N1RG]

Still to me doesn’t fit the real world aviation category

[CPKJ]

Real pilots don’t check the weather… Harambe watches over them

[hmkane]

@CPKJ

Real pilots don’t check the weather

Yes they do.[quote=“CPKJ, post:9, topic:71882”]
Harambe watches over them
[/quote]

Can we finally move on from Harambe? I get that people honor/respect him, but come on, does he really need to be mentioned months after the incident on an aviation forum? It’s more non-aviation related than weather.

You mean virtually, right?

[Jakobaviation]

Nope
