Thankfully, I'm on a fleet that has (almost all, I think) Viasat. Not that I can ever connect to it without a fight...

Agreed, a windy like display would be awesome. I almost exclusively use the windy app for my GA flying and use it quite a bit in airline/mil flying. One of the best products I've seen for weather. It would be great to see Delta adopt this display into our products.
