    Sure is. Flew downstate with a freind that has a ministry among the Muslims in Dearborn, Mi. He flew me back tonight. Skies were clear and calm, just beautiful.

    Looking at the oldschool nav stuff in the cockpit dash is a real trip. We flew in a ‘75 Cessna 172. The newest nav intrument was this garmin thing (and I fail to recall the device name) where he is given a 4-digit code given by the tower space he enters. But the really cool one is what he had on his ipad. It’s my plane tracker phone app on steroids. Not sure how long you guys have had this but Trey pointed out a few details on the screen, the amazing one is the glide radius circles in the event of power loss (you know this but just pointing it out to others). Amazing suff. Garmin has just taken over that tech market.

    Yeah, he probably has either Foreflight (which I use on my iPad) or Garmin Pilot on his iPad. The Cessna 172 I fly had a Garmin 430 GPS. The 4 digit code box is the transponder. Those have actually been around for years and years. Lets them identify you on your screen. But they have a lot of new nifty ones out that do a lot of stuff. Here is the panel of the 172 I fly. The GPS is the color screen. Above it is a Lynx 9000 transponder which is one of the latest and greatest. You can see the 4 digit code in there. On the right part of the screen it shows traffic and weather. This also has an STEC 30 autopilot which will hold heading and altitude, but won't fly instrument approaches. Looks like I am flying at about 4500 feet. This is on my way back St Simons Island on the coast of GA to eat some BBQ. lol.

    Below that is a screenshot from the iPad on my way there with the software you were talking about. And a few shots leaving St Simons.

    That’s a bit more advanced look on the dash of your plane though quite familiar. The ipad app you have is very similar. Nice photos. Now that’s how you fetch some ribs.

You can forget about unexpected repair costs with an extended service plan for your Lincoln. Many vehicle repairs can cost thousands of dollars in unexpected expense, now may be the time to consider an extended service plan for your vehicle.
