Thursday is back. I guess it has to be here for Friday to show up tomorrow.
Another flight is scheduled and I will be in the sky again this afternoon. I bought the App, ForeFlight yesterday. And I ordered a GPS bridge gizmo that has an antenna that uses suction cups to stick to the window. With that and ForeFlight I can watch for traffic and it has all the sectional charts and weather updates. Next is an iPad Mini with the cell. I don't need the month to month cell plan, but that model comes with a GPS as well. There is an yoke mount attachment that lets me put the Mini on the yoke in front of me or in front of the pilot. It is a perfect size display to show all that information, and not be just too big like a full size iPad. I will have more electronic gizmos than the pilot I have been hiring. He is a great guy, and a pilot instructor. He mostly makes his living as an instructor. I want him to put me at the top of the list so I pay him double his normal rate and for some reason he will put other client off to fly for me. And he does not have to do anything more than fly the airplane. I just don't have the desire to learn to become a pilot. I have too many hobbies, and a mean boss making me work hard.
