You're not alone Bill. I noticed the same thing. It seems to be an electronic chart and that's it. No options for flight planning.

Default SNF - Flightprep - RunwayFinder

FlightPrep will be at SunNFun per the SNF website. Think all that attend should let them know the homebuilder/aviation community is not too terribly happy with the actions that they have taken recently. Hope to be there.

Seems like a good reason to return to SunNFun for the first time in many years. Oh, my first SunNFun was to talk to Eggenfellner / or is that Viking engines?... Maybe not! .

[ed. Can you post the URL to the 2011 exhibitor's list? I found one for 2010, but not 2011. I agree that if they show they are in for an earfull. dr]

Here is a list of Sun-N-Fun exhibitors for 2011.

http://www.sun-n-fun.org/FlyIn/Exhib...xhibitors.aspx

Here is an insert from the list.

FlightPrep B-036, B-037

Default Anyone Wanna Get On This?

I'll be there. If I had a Runway Finder T-shirt, I would make it a point to wear it...real bright color.

Imagine a stream of 20-30-40 people all wearing the same shirt, all just strolling peacefully by their booth.

Any enterprising soul on board here who can make a T-shirt happen quickly? How about part of the proceeds going to the RF defense fund?

Just a random thought or two...

Default I Agree...

...with Dwight. Any sort of activity like that would necessitate touching home base first. All things considered I would not be surprised if Dave had to remain neutral - at best. He has more than enough to deal with. What is ultimately in the best interest of him and Runway Finder should rule.

Default Feedback

I heard from Dave and his comment was that ... he can't comment.

[Idea dropped, so the details don't need to be retained - dfrye]

[ed. I would respectfully ask you not promote doing this on my site. It puts ME and my family in the legal crosshairs, so to speak. Davey has another job to fall back on. I don't. ;^) dr]
