Why does Larry always look cold?
It’s because he’s forced to endure miserable, harsh conditions 10 months out of the year. OAT when this report was shot: 16 degrees F.
Stratus earned its reputation by being stable. It connects, stays connected, and doesn’t need babysitting in flight. Built around ForeFlight from day one. Good product.
