Captain Dave uses his weather radar to thread his A321 through a Southern thunderstorm:
"Before we picked our way through this line-up of Thor’s children, the co-pilot told the lead flight attendant to batten down the hatches. I woke the passengers up, using my best imitation of the mythological captain’s voice, and told them to take their seats and strap in tight. After I put the PA handset back in it’s cradle, I remark to the co-pilot, ‘The passengers are probably freaking out back there because of AF447.’"
Good writing. Good read.
