Unfortunately, suprisingly smooth. I think I should have turned up the turbulence factor in Active Camera to get a betterview shake.The skies cleared the further west I went. My intended landing was Little Rock but I decided to declare a fuel emergency and land @ Dobbins. I could have seen some friends or gone to one of the "dollar stores" around Atlanta. ;)Regards,Jim

Yes, thanks :)During take-off bad visibility and heavy rain but nothing special.The climbout was partialy really bumpy and I had the girls sit down with their seatbelts fastened until the top of climb.What was a real surprise was the extremely high temperature within the storm. ISA +20 to +25deg.The climb performance above FL200 was almost as bad as in a CRJ100.The remaining 7hrs were very smooth....another surprise because the SIG charts looked awful.RegardsBernt

It's amazing what those big low pressure systems can do.RhettFS box: E8500 (@ 3.80 ghz), AC Freezer 7 Pro, ASUS P5E3 Premium, BFG 8800GTX 756 (nVidia 169 WHQL), 4gb DDR3 1600 Patriot Cas7 7-7-7-20 (2T), PC Power 750, WD 150gb 10000rpm Raptor, Seagate 500gb, Silverstone TJ09 case, Vista Ultimate 64ASX Client: AMD 3700+ (@ 2.6 ghz), 7800GT
