Is it just me?

Buff right out.
 
Maybe (maybe) the weather got shadowed in the airborne radar, but shouldn't ATC have seen those echoes and diverted the flight?

P.S. I was howling at "The Front Fell Off"...never saw that before. Thanks, Hengelo :)
 
Now they will be the ones deviating 50 miles around every convective cell they see, one extreme to the next.
Likely a relatively short flight with a 320, a peek at the most recent radar picture before pushing off the gate is helpful, big picture stuff. BWTHDIK.

ATC in Europe typically doesn't do that. Many of them don't have systems where it's simple to overlay weather radar images on their displays.

The flight time of that flight is roughly 2 hrs.
 
I wonder if theres a subconscious feeling of invincibility with yuuge planes and yuuger weather? Would they have tried that in a King Air? Baron? Taylorcraft?
