"Real-time pictures of current weather conditions from
weather cameras are helping pilots in Alaska make better choices
every day about when and where it's safe to fly... We want to
make sure people in Alaska can travel to work, school and the
doctor as safely as possible."

LaHood, in comments made after the FAA turned on its 150th weather
camera in Talkeetna, Ak. Aviation cameras are positioned to
view sky conditions around airports, air routes and mountain
passes. They provide pilots with critical weather information to
help them decide whether it's safe to fly.
