    My wife and I are planning a vacation to New England mid August. Maybe just over a week in length. Her idea of a vacation is go somewhere and stay and relax.

    G3

    In the midst of my wishful thinking about buying a plane (I'm getting close) I ran across this.... http://www.insightavionics.com/g3.htm Previous to seeing the G3, I had always figured I'd find a plane with a JPI in it, or put one in myself. I'm quite impressed with the additional features...

    Thinking about going to a EFB

    I am considering going to some sort of electronic system for my flying. So far, I have only done FAA paper charts, plates, etc. (I didn't like the Jepp plates and they cost more.)
