I can't afford it... but best I don't let my wife see it, either. Ever since she watched one taxi up at MGY as we waited-out a thunderstorm, and she saw that airstair door flop open, she's wanted one.

Of course, there was that time we hitched a ride with another board member in his CJ3+, and after dinner, she asked me: "Is there absolutely, positively *no* jet we can afford?"

I answered "yes" (as in, "yes, there is no jet we can afford").

I think you just need to adjust your definition of “afford”.

As someone pointed out on another listing recently, you probably are back at 100% section 179 for this year!

I know you won’t be able to find the 3.5% interest I got but I can say that the deduction was very nice when I took it.

So I've been playing with google gemini and created the attached flight log and etcm sheet.

Does anyone know how to get gemini or chatgpt to include the flight data from flightaware.com. when I asked I got "No, I cannot provide the altitude and ground speed (GS) from the FlightAware data. A search of FlightAware.com for N71562 flight logs from KELP to KMYF and KMYF to KDNA does not yield the required altitude and ground speed data points. The search results only include general flight information such as departure and arrival times, aircraft type, and route.'

Thought it would be interesting to show actual data....

Crude but flight by flight copy the FA data off and paste each into an excel? Then load those into your favorite AI engine.

I thought FA made downloads available for a price but I do not see that.

You can get KML data from adsbexchange. You can contact them to pay for a large dataset for your N-number, or you can export a few of your own one day at a time (https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=a9 ... rackLabels) on the bottom left of the data panel.

I'm guessing AI can interpret this, but not sure.
