Bad weather in ORL on Friday afternoon...
Taken on the way to St. Augustine from West Palm on Friday... Glad I wasn't trying to get into Orlando.... Amazing to me the technology available to GA pilots today... Probablly better than what airliners had available in their cockpits just 20 years ago...

'Specially them dang 737-300s that Southwest is flying around. Every time I sit in the jumpseat, I find myself wondering, "Where the hell are we?" Then I spend 3 minutes drawing a mental map in my head based on the DME and VOR radials. Then I'm like, "Oh, there we are." Of course then I get into my airplane and the MFD tells me (roughly) exactly where I am in relation to the next fix/VOR/airport. Still, nothing as cool as them Garmin G500/1000/3000/396/496/696/etc.
