Before iPads were commonly used while flying. My first program was setting up an app to calculate wind correction and fuel estimates into my TI-83.

It was the first time I was able use Trig and programming to solve a real world problem.

hahah that's awesome! Makes me wonder now if anyone ever took a checkride and instead of an e6b just whipped out a TI83 in the middle of it. I'd pass that guy instantly! hehehehe
