Greg is one of the two VC partners I know who still program. (The other is Albert Wenger of Union Sq Ventures.)


Greg is cool, and I am guessing he is a pilot. Good to see VCs getting there hands dirty.

The 5* is just from one review so not really a headline.


Warning: opens iTunes.


Here's a link to see more info without hitting iTunes: http://www.appstorehq.com/touchplan-iphone-30416/app

(Disclaimer: that is my newest project.)


nice site.


Here's the website for the app:

I was looking for something exactly like this a few months ago, when I was still flying (taking a break currently). I think it's fair to charge $4.99 for something like this.


And with Jet A prices where they are...


100LL for me :)


You mean, one 5* review.


Why isn't he charging for it? I'm not sure if that should make me less ("he can't figure out pricing") or more impressed ("he doesn't care about just money").
