This is something for you google earth users out there in pilotland. Its an aviation weather layer that allows you to click on a airport placemark in google earth and get the latest METAR for that airport plus each airport links to the website and displays the latest TAF/weather charts and information for that airport/region.
Probably easier to show with a few screen shots so here goes:
