Turbo Commander - Wind Shear & Thunderstorms

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

It is May 15, 2023 and you ride along in the mighty Rockwell Turbo Commander as we depart Phoenix Sky Harbor during a wind shear advisory and then use onboard radar, NEXTRAD, and ATC to avoid thunderstorms in an an attempt to make it back to our base in Safford, Arizona. Just one more day in the life of a MEDEVAC pilot.

    The turbine commanders are the best looking twin ever built!

    Greetings from Australia, That was a interesting little flight and would have liked to be your co-pilot on it. This flight was very similar to flying up in northern Australia during the monsoon with no such thing as a direct track due to deviations because of weather. Lots of fun ✈️🇦🇺

    Thanks Michael. Australia and NZ are on my bucket list in a big way. The nice thing about air mass thunderstorms is they are easy to spot but yes no direct routes here in the summer.

    One of these just went down in Australia. A Gulfstream 695A Fire Fighting Bird Dog went down 70km SE of Cloncurry

    This is going to be an El Nino year so expect higher humidity levels all summer long.

    @@FlyFrontier259 I believe the state still owned it at that time and it was based across the airport from you. I ran into one of the pilots who flew it for the state in Chandler about a year ago. Six degrees of aviation.
