Do you or anyone else have much experience with the Golden Eagle
software from the DUAT/DUATS (can't keep 'em straight)?

I tried Golden Eagle over 10 years ago and didn't like it, but I would hope that
the current version is different from the one I was using.

A downloaded AirPlanLite a while back and like it fairly well. It can be a pain
to determine the data for entering a profile for your aircraft if you can't use
one of the standard ones though.

My favorite program is TAU, which used to be produced by Excel Software. I have
no idea if one could still get it. Since my copy is over 10 years old, the
graphics are inferior to anything modern.

Why do men's hearts beat faster, knees get weak, throats become dry,
and they think irrationally when a woman wears leather clothing?
Because she smells like a new truck.

I have been using Cirrus for DUATS for a long time. Simple to use. I
have my aircraft profile loaded and get my weather, flight plans, and
file flight plans. I do not have the Golden Eagle upgrade, just the free
Cirrus. Just finished planning a trip. Getting ready to go to the
airport soon.

I've used both, Golden Eagle is much improved over Cirrus and is still
free for downloading...

It it free to use, also?

Yes, dialup (Duats tollfree) or broadband/dialup internet, it doesn't
care...
