Evelyn and I had the opportunity to spend some time visiting with the crew of an USAF C37 Gulfstream Sunday and Monday last. Photos attached.

The tower at KBMG is telling our pilots that their new WX briefing updated 5 mins before each hour instead of the previous current WX is due to the NWS delivery to them. Is there any light you can shed on this topic?" Pete, The NWS has not stopped real-time weather reports! It never has and it never will. The KBMG Tower likely has a video monitor in their cab called a VDU that shows real-time weather from ASOS. How or if they provide this information to pilots is their choice not the NWS's. Our tower, KAMA, chooses not to provide real-time weather. What I -- and likely you -- hear on ATIS is the ASOS generated METAR which is issued at h+55 in benign weather.
