On The Cover: Thanks to Jessica Koss for sending the photos shot from the cockpit of a King Air somewhere in the Midwest in the middle of summer. The active radar image is painting the real-time view outside and offers good arguments for repairing and even upgrading a ship's weather radar, even if it's equipped with SXM satellite and ADS-B weather systems. If you're faced with repairing, upgrading and even purchasing a radar-equipped used airplane the report on page 4 is for you.
The main images show the busy view outside of Garmin’s King Air somewhere around Memphis cruising northwestbound, and how it looks on the GWX 70 Doppler weather radar. Plan your path through—we’ll come back to it later.
