Decades from now there will be old pilots who remember that southern drawl. And some will remember the time it probably saved their life.

I changed mine to the "English" voice, the American one sounded too much like my ex... :D

Ya mean, "Lilly the Lip" ?
I muted her a long time ago. As long as my co-pilot is with me to double check the fine print, I don't miss Lilly at all.

I've had 3 GPSs but I don't use them anymore because I ask Siri for directions except when I'm on a trip where I know there'll be traffic. Then I use my Waze app.
Siri and Waze don't "recalculate.' They just do their job.

I am pretty sure Boeing used Nikon D200's to shoot the time-lapse scenes in StL.
