1960 US team photos? by Tony[_7_]
Hey all - in reviewing Paul Schweizer's "Soaring Through the 20th Century", I realize there are no photos of the gliders being loaded or unloaded from the MATS aircraft, which I thought I had seen somewhere. Anyone have any leads? I suspect it was a C-124...talk about subsidies!

ClearNav2 compatibility? by Phoenix
I'm installing a ClearNav2 and already have a Cambridge LNav / GPSnav w/Cambridge vario. Is there any reason to keep the Cambridge combo in the panel? Anything it can do that the CN2 can't? Should I just install hole covers and try to sell the Cambridge combo?

Transition from iOS to Windows PC by Phoenix
I will be having a ClearNav2 installed soon and will need to purchase a PC for utilizing this system. I'm an Apple guy at present. What do you recommend for an inexpensive PC to be used solely for the CN2? Alternately, is there an option for using a MacBook Air with the CN2?
