iFly GPS Forum

We (my airplane partner and I) sold our Glasair yesterday.

I cried.

(I suppose this is what it's like for a dad to give away his daughter in marriage. I've got 34 years of my life - just more than half of my life now - babying her.)

Wise King Solomon said that there was a time for everything. It's time for me. I'm giving up flying now.

Without an airplane, and without a Stratux (the buyer asked if he could have my Stratux as part of the deal), I expect that I won't be using iFly anymore.

So I expect this is my last post.

As I depart, I want to formally thank both Brian and Walter for their exceptional - and unusual - openness in accepting ideas for improvements from users. It has been rewarding to see some of my ideas being incorporated in the product. I've enjoyed being allowed to be part of the "team."

P.S. The buyer had ForeFlight. I can't figure out why everyone thinks it's so great. I didn't find it ergonomic at all.

Farewell.

 Mike,

I agree with Mike and hope that you will re-consider your decision to depart the iFly forum.  Your insightful end user perspectives, technical know-how, software user interface design insights, and your kind, considerate feedback style are irreplaceable.  I have been quietly admiring your input for years and have been influenced by your comments.  I hope you will find a way to stay on the IFly team!

I'm sorry to see you go Mike. I have enjoyed reading about your ideas for improvements to iFly GPS and agreed with you on many, if not most of them. At 71 years of age, I have decided to hang up my wings and have been trying to break this flying habit for the past 6 months after 55 years of flying.
