Apologies

Apologies to those working today at approximately 2130z. I was N295DL doing a little sightseeing around the area. Just east of downtown LA at 1500 I was violently struck by a weather shift that sent my 172 vertical and then out of control. At one glance with Shift-Z it indicated I was going over 500kts. Anyway, I quickly disconnected from the network, but I am positive that I busted the Class B first. This was unfortunately out of my control and I have submitted a ticket with REX to try and determine what caused the violent weather change in otherwise clear skies and manageable winds.

You should look into Active Sky.

If you're doing 500kts in a 172, you have far bigger things to worry about than an airspace violation
Good luck getting it fixed!

I'm not too far off from this Julio. Had about my fill of REX weather issues.
