    Passur accuracy-good or bad?

    Just wondering. I saw an El Al 747 come low over my house yesterday at 230pm. I just love it when the 22s are in use. JFK traffic comes low over the house.

    Checked passur and it was listed as at 3000 feet. I am not sure what the cloud ceiling was but assuming passur is right, must have been over 3000 ft in order for me to see the big bird.

    Anyway, nice to see those colors so close.
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    the websites are delayed for security reasons. the passur insight program we use at work is very acurate.
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
