Nothing like some Texas thunderstorms to liven things up!

This was at the end of a short test flight from Dallas to Houston. Also used autoland for my first time!

Nice Tyler.

I'm thinking about learning to fly modern tubeliners. I'm just so comfortable with old piston engine aircraft like the B-377. It just seems so complicated with the FMC's and all

Say, can you leave the jet in autopilot from takeoff to landing?

A plane is a plane. If you know how to fly a B-377, this can be no different. You can always fly them by the seat of your pants, if that's what you even want to. The only thing different is how to start the thing up.
