En-Route
flew to Gatlinburg following that nasty weather that hit the night before. Kept checking the weather and got a nice briefing before I left. It was a 1.25 hr flight, and probably 70% of that was IMC.
got to use foreflight with the stratus that belongs to a friend of mine. combined with a stormscope, it does give you a little more awareness. I know the shortcomings of both, but it's definitely better to have them than to be without.
anyway, it wasn't a bad ride. a little rain but very little turbulence. Trips like this making the instrument rating worth it's weight.
