Browntail,
I see you went to BKL. I flew into there for 4+ years in a Lear. Many, many hairy nights!!!! Doing the ILS 24R circle to 6L in the dead of winter with those winds is an app I will never forget.
As for flying for Airnet. Who gives about the avionics, the flying is GREAT. Learn more about WX then you can do in a book or a whatever.
