I am trying to recoup the aviation weather website that shows a variety of conditions such as temps, cloud levels, winds, etc for a 3 day period and you insert the city & state where you wish to see this data. I had it prior to a computer issue which dumped data on the hard drive including all of my favorites. Its not the AOPA, DUATS sites. Maybe some of you use it and can send me (and others) the address. Thanks!

A few weeks ago I was trying to refind an aviation weather site I had used for several years, but had lost it due to a computer issue. The site turned out to be usairnet.com. Thanks for those who assisted,

Why does Navmonster.com take me to a career planning website?

Their site is either down or has been hacked. No longer works for me either.

Apparently a merger is going on. This will explain it I think.

That link is OLD news. Flightprep was able to patient a common process which threatens to stop all the little guys like NavMonster, Runwayfinder and Skyfinder. FlightPrep doesn't have the money to threaten Google and Bing which use the same process in my opinion. NavMonster, Skyfinder and last Runwayfinder settled about Apil of last year and license the process from Flightprep.

The NavMonster.com site is back up. I think everyone will agree with me that this is the most user frindly flight planing and all the info
you will need for making a short flight or a long flight. I mostly go VFR now that I'am retired from commercial flying. This site is best for
that. Please give it a try. I have been a member of AOPA sense 1965, but I like NavMonster much better than AOPA flight planner, which is
not too user friendly.
I also use DUATS for mostly IFR filling, and Fltplan.com, which is a good sight too, for multiple flight plans.

Glad Navmonster is back. Occasionally I use it. I like Runwayfinder.com better for seeing a line on a map but I use the Airnav.com fuel planner to plan fuel stops.

NavMonster has the line on the map also you can see it on google earth or IFR or VFR chart. Just go to Home and put in Departure AP and
Destination AP select MAP, and it shows AP s 10, 25 or 50 miles along the line, click on any AP and it shows the distence from departure, and
all the info on the AP.
