ForeFlight, that thing, I heard people talk about it, sounds fancy, but I don’t know much. Some folks say it’s good for them pilot fellas. What’s it? Ain’t got no Android version, that’s for sure. They say it make flyin’ easier, plan the flyin’ and such. Like a fancy map, maybe? My grandson, he knows these things, but he uses them fruit phones, not the Android.
So, ForeFlight Android, that’s a thing people be lookin’ for. But there ain’t one. They say it’s ’cause them Android phones, they’re all different, like a whole bunch of different taters in a sack. Makes it hard, I reckon. This ForeFlight, it’s only for them fruit phones and their pads, you know the ones.
Now, some smart alecks, they try to make it work on Android. They call it a “workaround”. Sounds like work to me! I heard one fella even say he got it runnin’ somehow. I don’t know how, I ain’t no computer whiz. But if you are really wantin’ it, you gotta use a fruit phone.
These pilot fellas, they use this thing called EFB. Electronic Flight Bag, fancy words. They say ForeFlight is one of them. But on Android? Folks askin’ what’s the best for Android. Like askin’ what’s the best mule for plowin’. Depends on the mule, depends on the field, I reckon.
- ForeFlight, that’s for fruit phones.
- Android, got different ones, like iFly or somethin’.
- Some folks try to make ForeFlight work on Android, but it’s tricky.
- Pilots use these things called EFBs.
They got new stuff for ForeFlight all the time, like new recipes for cornbread. Runway somethin’, helicopter somethin’. Don’t know what that is, ain’t no runways around here, just fields. But it’s all new, keepin’ up with the times, I guess. Like gettin’ a new tractor, but this one’s in your phone.
If you got this ForeFlight, you gotta keep it fresh, like milk from the cow. They say you gotta “update” it. Go to that store thing on your phone, the App Store. Tap your picture up top, then find ForeFlight. Then you tap “Update”. Sounds like a lot of tappin’ to me. And they say when new stuff comes, the old stuff goes away. Like cleanin’ out the barn, I reckon. Make room for the new hay. But it takes time, they say, like waitin’ for the crops to grow.
I remember back in my day, we didn’t have none of these fancy gadgets. Just a map and the stars. Now, these young folks, they got everything in their pockets. But still, ain’t no ForeFlight for Android. Maybe one day, who knows? Maybe one day pigs will fly, too.
This ForeFlight, it started a long time ago, 2007. Sounds like ancient history. They wanted to make flyin’ easier. And they did, I guess. Now all the pilots use it. Like everyone usin’ them newfangled seed planters instead of doin’ it by hand. Times change, that’s for sure.
But still, no ForeFlight Android. You want ForeFlight? Get a fruit phone. You want to use Android? Find somethin’ else. That’s what I hear, anyway. It is like pickin’ taters, ain’t it? Some folks like the red ones, some like the white ones. Each to their own, I always say.
These pilots, they talk about their subscriptions, renewin’ them. Like payin’ for the feed store every month. Gotta keep that subscription up, or you lose your fancy maps. These are important for their job, I guess. It is a tool for them. You gotta keep your tools in good shape, that’s what my old man always said.
But I’ll tell ya, I’m glad I ain’t gotta worry about all that. Just gotta worry about the chickens and the garden. And keepin’ them darn deer outta the corn. That’s enough for me. No need for fancy flyin’ maps. Just need to know where the sun rises and sets. That’s all the map an old gal like me needs.
So, if you’re a pilot fella, and you’re lookin’ for ForeFlight Android, you’re outta luck. But there’s other fish in the sea, as they say. Or other taters in the sack. Just gotta find the one that’s right for you. And if you don’t know, ask around. Someone will know. That’s how we do things.
