That’s not a very big gap. You have to be careful to know how old the radar image is. I wouldn’t recommend threading the gap with ADS-B in radar. It is a great tool and amazing, but I don’t trust it that much. I believe the standard recommendation is to stay 25 miles from a thunderstorm. Now if you are VFR and able to see the rain shafts, it is a different situation. No offense, George, I just don’t want someone seeing your success here and thinking it is always going to work.
