I think I am going to charter a plane for the Idaho eclipse. Perhaps a Cessna 182.

Have you considered upgrading to a B-17?

But seriously, do you plan on observing from the air or landing someplace?

For the latter I see Jackson Hole is right on the centerline but I'm guessing it'll be full on eclipse day.

Then there's Mud Lake, Rexburg and Driggs. Not on the centerline but pretty close with totality lasting about 2:17 and the Sun about 50 degrees altitude.

Here's a look at clouds along the route: http://www.eclipse2017.org/2017/weather/2017_clouds.htm

Your thoughts?
