I don't make a habit of texting pics but I knew the grandkids would want to see "Dusty" Less than 30 seconds later I had a text from Megan telling me that Frankie ( almost three) was totally freaked out that Granpa was in the presence of his hero. Had a chance to visit with Stu Horn, of Aviat fame for probably 20 minutes... fascinating guy! Next I went downtown to the convention center and was really impressed with the exhibits. Fairly easy to get up close and personal with all the miracle new avionics and get more explanations than I could understand
Only two people I had to wait to see were Jack Pelton and our own Angela Booth who was in the Fore Flight booth. I went to an ipad seminar with probably 400 other folks presented by Sporty's. The presenter took a survey on which apps people were using and I was impressed when 80 to 90% of the crowd raised their hands for Fore Flight. I got to visit with Steve Jacobsen briefly and a few non 170 folks I know. The show runs thru Saturday and I would encourage anyone reasonably close to attend especially if the purchase of avionics is in your future.
