Uh oh, looks like a long front of bad weather coming up over the Florida panhandle. Will you bounce throught it on IFR, go on oxygen and fly over it, or wait it out... Either way, good luck and enjoy!

When we stopped for fuel in Baton Rouge, we looked at the radar again and the squall line was looking less ominous than it did that morning. I decided to press onwards IFR hoping we could pick our way through the front once we got there 2 hours later. Our Plan B was to land in Panama City and wait it out, but fortunately, by the time we got to the front, it had broken up enough that we could safely fly through it. Once again, downlinked NEXRAD saved the day.
