Hi Colyn,

=0A

IMHO the safest approach to summertime towering cumulus is to = stay VMC. On top- is best if the air is not electrically charged -- if not = able-- go down to 3000 feet-- below the bases (VMC) (check terrain clearanc= e)-- and always be vigilant for lightning and hail on the downwind side--yes--stay out of the green (if only to protect your paint).

And= in regards to diversions-- go early when the heading corrections are 10 to= 20=B0. Not when you're in a box canyon and you need a 90=B0 to a 180=B0 co= urse change. You'll notice that large holes and openings from 100 miles out= will close up by the time you get there. And it would've been better to ta= ke that 20=B0 heading cut to go around the up wind side before you got ther= e. Saves time too.

And Thanks--<= /P>
