Mountain Flying with NavAir EFB - 2006/09/07 02:32Aside from the moving map with overlay of real time Nexrad Weather, the most impressive flight experience I have had with my NavAir NavPad has been my three flights (and more to come) between COS (Colorado Springs) and GJT (Grand Junction) CO through the mountain passes of the Rocky Mountains.
