I suppose it should really, but I flew A 707 many years ago and I've had the plate for many many years.

What it should be is B747 FLY as I was on that for 36 years - hands up if you own that one, I might be tempted!

First impressions:
    A fabulous drive (Air and 19")
      A crap nav system (can't get Google maps on CarPlay which I incorrectly understood I could!)
      As a 'heavy' pilot, I doubt the Macan cockpit & technicalities will bother you for long. Your car is a lovely combo, am liking Agate the more I see it. I regret not ordering the grey interior on my VG car, it does impress. Same opinion as me re: Air and 19's for a great ride (as with big wings and winglets). As for the Sat Nav, having used it all over Euroland, I found it to be very accurate in getting you right to the front door of your destination, (as is your INS), its all I expect of it.

      Beautiful car Oldpilot.

      The Google Earth overlay is excellent, makes the maps much more interesting. Understand there is some doubt about whether Porsche will renew the licence agreement with Google which expires in December but I hope they do.

      I've become a Siri fan since I got CarPlay too. I never saw much point using it directly on the iPhone or iPad but its great in the car.
