Weather wise, a few times I have been places I rather I wasn't but if air traffic wont let you turn away from it, you have to do it anyway...thunderstorms are killers..it's about the only thing you cant recover from.
ATC cannot refuse allowing you to deviate for weather. Only a foolish pilot would deliberately fly into a raging thunderstorm.............
Slingsby, was this Boston in the USA? Sounds like your Captain was a real hero!
Ah the wonderful world of the Sim
Its not the flying that scares me, its the taxying..... Looks so simple on the airport diagram, but then you arrive somewhere you're unfamiliar with and its easy to get lost.......
