Oooh, that is so cool! We could track temp/dewpoint spread... number of operations taking place at a nearby airport, ceiling heights... what other useful info could we track with these toys :-) Price of Jet-A? eeew, no thanks ;-)
Exactly you've got the idea I was thinking! We could combine all the various factors in to determining the likelyhood or necessity of flight. Aircraft availability, checking account level, wind, ceiling, weather forecast, stress level, time of day, currency requirements (day, night, pax, IFR) length of time since last flight etc... then at the end it would just combine everything and give you a rating so you knew when you absolutely just had to drop everything and fly.
As happened to me last night... I was just sitting at work minding my own business and... I don't know how it happened, but next thing I knew I was eating a candy bar at South Lake Tahoe. Wierd the things that happen to pilots :-) Even more amazing how just an hour later I was eating another candy bar, but back at KWVI... weird. My glowing aviation frame would surely have tipped me off to such an event approaching.
