I love the 486dx-ness of the site data presented.


I think most FAA things are like that. They need to be pretty terse/simple to be read on pretty old systems.


Won't this also be presented to pilots on their small info screen, the one which prints them out weather and flight info? (ACARS [0]) Here's another example [1]

I'm just waiting for someone to post a picture of this message showing on a glowing green display somewhere.

Stupid inconsistent use of date formats though: mostly they are using MM/DD/YY, and then on the last line they use YY/MM/DD. WTF? Who does that?
