Also, a BIG storm in your RADAR’s line of sight will obscure the next one behind it etc. You don’t know what you are really flying into.
IIRC, some of these storms had tops up over 50,000 feet.
As a VFR pilot, a 180 is my best friend.
Bingo
180 is a nice plane. I don’t get to enjoy light plane flying as much as I would like. You’re a very lucky person.
