safetypee, If you would like some sobering reading re jet transports and CB's google up

Interesting that WWII US Army Air Corps met books had reference that a crews inability to fly successfully through CB's was down to lack of skill. Gann in his "Fate Is The Hunter" makes reference to how airline crews of his day (30's and 40's) dealt with CB's. Makes for harrowing reading and explains perhaps both the coast to coast litter of bent airline aluminium in the US during those years and the page upon page of names to whom memory his book is dedicated.
