@vkhosid Airfoil is available on both iOS and Android phones and tablets. You can find links to both app stores on Airfoilapp.com. Let me know what you think if you download it!

Sorry for the late reply, been hard at work on some app updates! Yes, you're right, we haven't nailed the killer feature yet, or the killer aviation app. But some of these killer features are hard to appreciate until they're out there. In other words it might be the case most pilots don't know...

Yeah, I was thinking about that. Don't know if there's an easy solution to this, but we also built a "nearby" section of the app where you can see discussions at all airports that are close to you in addition to being able to see discussions at a specific airport. Think that would work in this case?

Same here! Just moved to Oakland and hope to see you in the local group in my app :)

Thanks for the note! Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. Keeping it airport-specific rather than posting in a big forum should increase the quality of interaction on local issues :) At the moment you can either view an airport-specific discussion on Airfoil or you can go to a global...

Yeah, some POAs have websites and blogs, and that's great. This is a little different in the sense that it basically creates a forum for every airport, so you don't have to go looking for a blog and join a different forum for every airport/group, you can just open the app and see what local...

Can you look up an Airport on Facebook? Some local pilot groups have Facebook Groups, yes, but this sets up a page for every airport in the world. Plus, you don't have to join a group, you can just fly in and see what the locals are talking about, then fly out.

Woops! Preview showed image working correctly, but didn't show up. Should be fixed now! Thanks :)

I'm building an aviation app with some friends and we just added local airport pages so pilots can chat with other pilots coming in and out of their local airport. We got the idea partially from feedback from PoA members, so I'd love to hear what you all think of the new airport pages?! You can...

Yes, human contact is amazing - somehow still under-appreciated! We do have email signup as well. You are not required to sign up with Facebook. Kudos for reading the privacy policy! As for the pilot search, right now it's just oriented around the geolocations of discussion posts. In other...

Got it. Meetup is great for organizing in person meetings. I haven't been on their site for a while I'll look some more. I'm more interested in online conversations with local pilots that can help pilots meet one another and start new conversations. That can lead to more meetups and that kind of...

Interesting. Any reason in particular you're not down with mobile?

Thanks for the tip!

Would also love your thoughts on the app so far and how it compares so far to what you get out of Facebook (and what it might be missing): airfoilapp.com

;) I'll see what I can do. very much appreciate the privacy concern.

Yes local events is something we're working on as well - it's clearly very useful to actually meet in person. I'm very interested in the fact that people do come out of the woodwork, as you say, so there seems to be a lot of interest, especially in in person connection but general connection as...

Very interesting - is there any online forum, communication tool or email for the association? Do you think you'd use one? Who runs the association?

Cool - how do new people find the list?

Awesome, does that work well for you? What don't you like about it? Do you use it on your phone or just when you're in front of your computer?

I'm working on a mobile app for pilots and I'm wondering if you all have any thoughts on how you've successfully connected with local pilots in the past? Local discussion boards? Twitter? A lot of flight clubs and flight school websites I've seen don't have discussion boards, so wondering what's...
