    Apple I-Pad and Air Navigation Pro Software

    Generally the program is pretty good, They now have a feature where you can view the entire I-PAD screen as a map with no intruments which I find usefull. I think the menus need big improvments. The Create Custom Waypoint is not logically placed. Creating the Nav Plans requires you go to...

    Apple I-Pad and Air Navigation Pro Software

    I have written Air Nav Pro in Germany and made a couple of software suggestions. They are very friendly and have been very willing to consider my ideas for future software releases. So far I'm really sold on the idea of the I pad in the cockpit. I just need to find a good mount for it so I...

    Where to stay in NYC?

    I like the Sheraton near Time Square. If that's the part of town you really want. $270.00 per night is what I paid. Clean, Quiet, and Smoke Free.

    Screwed by Hertz

    I feel for you man! They did the same thing to me in Europe, ofcourse I was back in the states by the time they tried to screw me so I had a hard time disputing it. The best thing to do is post post post everytime this happens and take away their business and give it to other companies.

    Apple I-Pad and Air Navigation Pro Software

    I'm thinking about getting the Apple I- Pad and then the Air Navigation Pro Software for $37.00. My question is the 3g version vs the WiFi + 3g version. From what I read the Wi-Fi should work just fine. So If I spend $499.00 on the WiFi I Pad I can have moving map GPS on my aircraft. This seems...

    Why are so many people afraid to fly in small airplanes?

    I finally talked one of my fearful friends into going up with me in a 172. It took me two month to convince him I would't crash the plane. That's a funny argument because it's like saying: "Gee I'll fly better with you in the plane because my life will be worth more....."

    The Nut Tree in Vacaville is reopening! I see they have a new web site. The train will still run and take you between the shops and the airfield. This used to be a favorite lunch hop when I was a kid and lived in Sacramento. My dad would load us in the Bonanza and we would have a great time...

    I know that when I get to "the other side" all the dogs I have loved and cared for over the years will be the first ones to great me. I feel strongly about this.
