Saving a Flight Plan

I would like to create a flight plan using the iFly/Windows desktop software, save it to a USB stick and transfer/upload to a Dynon Skyview system. Does anyone know of a way to do this?
Thanks!

Not sure what you actually want to do, but on my Win10 desktop, the iFly Data folder is the first on the drive, and the #FlightPlans folder has all the saved flight plans. I'd just copy it from there to the thumb drive, provided the Dynon Skyview can read the file.

I'd like to just print it out from my iPhone (which has a wifi print function built in).

Thanks Mike D. - I was looking for a way to export the file from the iFly software, rather than search for it in the Windows directory. I'll give your method a try.

As a follow-up - today I copied a flight plan created in iFly Windows to a USB drive and then attempted to upload into a Dynon Skyview touchscreen - it didn't recognize the file format. It appears iFly products use a proprietary file format when creating, saving and using flight plans.
I am installing a Skyview system in my plane and was hoping I could do the above. If the software had this capability, it would give me good reason to continue my iFly multi-platform subscription .
