Classic Aero-TV: The Enduring Appeal of METARmaps

From 2023 (YouTube Edition): At the Confluence of Art & Information Developed by pilot, aircraft-owner, and entrepreneur Richard Freilich, METARmaps are syncretisms of visual art and real-time meteorological observations manifested in unique and useful wall decoration. METARmaps consist of meticulous recreations of VFR Sectional charts—or sections, composites, or collections thereof—imbued with tiny processors controlling the illumination and color of LED lights representing METAR-reporting airports within the chart’s geographical boundaries. Subject LEDs depict generalized, real-time weather conditions prevailing at the airports represented thereby.
