15. Neil Armstrong Passes
When the first astronaut set foot on the moon back in 1969, it is hard to imagine a more appropriate quote: “That’s one step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind.” Those were the famous words immortalized by Neil Armstrong, who passed away this year at the age of 82 as a result of complications from heart surgery. Together with fellow astronaut Buzz Aldrin, Armstrong spent about 2.5 hours exploring the moon, collecting rocks and erecting an American flag flanked by a plaque with the inscription “We came in peace for all mankind.” Although the moonwalkers became instant heroes to millions around the world, Armstrong remained a humble and very private man throughout his life.

We have been flying one of these for quite a while here (Aéroclub Vauclusien - Avignon, France)
It's great - quieter, less hungry, and just as much fun to fly.
When will Jeppesen and Foreflight programs, maps, etc. be ready for the Android tablets, like Google Nexus 7 or 10??????
