I learned a new trick the other day with HTML called iframe. It’s a slick little way to implement one web page inside another. So what I did was get links to different weather data sites for the specific regions I was looking for, and then posted them into my Info To Fly tab. The slick thing about this trick is that what you see in my tab, is literally their web page…only specific to what I’ve told it to look for. It’s a really cool feature, and while I’m still working on it…I’m pretty happy with the results so far.
Basically the purpose of that page is to get different weather data on the Pacific Northwest region (namely the Chelan, Yakima, Seattle, and Spokane regions of WA state). This data should give anyone flying a non-powered aircraft (paraglider, hang-glider, sailplane, etc…) a view on how the day will pan out….info such as the: jet stream, winds aloft, barometric pressure, suggested flyable sites, and general weather can now be seen both in data, and graphically in one place…the Info to Fly tab…Enjoy!
