Hi Rick

The internet site https://aviationweather.gov doesn't provide satellite img anymore Nevertheless https://aviationweather.gov/fax/ provides lots of faxes under the sigWx tab

WeatherFaxInternetRetrieval_Aviation_Weather.xml may be rewritten for these new link

Nevertheless these are faxes for meteo at flight altitude !!!

Maybe it would be more rational to suppress this provider that is not very useful for sailors

Ask Sean DePanier what he thinks about that

@filochard Thanks, see https://github.com/rgleason/weatherfax_pi/issues/157 these URL corrections are in that file, but Ozolli and Bruce Balan also want to update that file.

I realize aviation is for higher levels, however we also use 500mb files to determine how upper level winds are working to affect our lower level weather, so aviation files are a very good indicator for that and they are very graphical.

@filochard This is going to be fixed with next update. Can we close this now?
