Anyone use one of these? Would be cool to have METARs for local airports scrolling.

I do!There are a couple of METAR apps. I also use mine for train arrival times for my local public transit stop that I live nearby.

Thanks for the feedback. Do you have more than one airport scrolling?

You can add the same app multiple times, like shown here in my Tidbyt app from my phone. That means each instance will show for 30 seconds. There's also another app (not showing here) that can show just the raw METAR text from the airports that you choose. But yes, I assume that you can put as many as you want. I think you can also change how long each shows before going to the next one.
Edit - you can change the speed.

It would be even cooler if it had better resolution than a 1960's-vintage Lite-Brite toy.
