Chuck Ellsworth:
Those who accept modern aids to operate aircraft and not only learn how to use them but actually use them.
Or.
Those who stay firmly entrenched in the horse and buggy era proud to let one and all know they are content to do it the way it used to be done.
Oh Chuck. That's not fair!
Only two choices?
Don't forget, the last time I flew, there was very little in the way of GPS! Can't I be in a third category where I'm interested in the old way and slightly amused by those who are unable to do things without what looks like the crutches of the modern way?
I love gadgets and I have a GPS (which is a great training aid, actually. It shows how sloppy I fly and I have a lot of fun of reviewing the tracks and seeing where I went wrong and where I can do better!)
I love digital maps as well, but I still like planning a route and following that pencil line to see what sort of stuff I'll be bumbling through.
It's funny how every sport has it's "red button subjects". On the sailing boards it is all about MAB (manky auld boats) vs AWB (average white boats) and the arguments are just as passionate!
I was very passionate about flying, then the passion died, now it's back again! See you soon in the skies!
