Flying in to OMA

Flew into Omaha last night and took this screenshot of my ForeFlight app. Not bad for a 200hp J model . I'm guessing you guys aren't buying it. OK, a B737 with a hell of a tailwind. It's amazing how well ForeFlight works on commercial jets; just be sure you have a window seat.

I use FF anytime I'm stuck in a cattle car, but found out that it was useless in 787s while flying to Japan last year.  Must be the carbon fiber fuselage and the electronic dimming windows. 10 hour flights with no SA sucks!

All of my long overwater flights have had some sort of map available, even before the days of personal GPS. London, Dublin, Buenos Aires, Tokyo . . . Now, they are right in the seatback, easily selectable with almost-real-time updates and include map, altitude, groundspeed, OAT, and wind speed / direction.

My "no SA" comment was obviously inaccurate.  But I do like having my own map with information that isn't scrolling one parameter at a time.  Plus, I'm busy catching up on all the movies I never watched in the theaters.
