My guest today is Tyson Weihs, the Co-Founder and CEO of ForeFlight--by far the best aviation software ever produced. Tyson and his company Foreflight has nearly singlehandedly dragged the entire aviation industry into the future. Before Foreflight aviation software was slow, cumbersome, and obsolete as soon as you bought it. It was similar to the dashboard GPS devices you stuck to your car window. Foreflight has done to aviation software what Google Maps did to the TomTom. It works seamlessly, it's updated all the time, and every few months there's a new feature you can use.In our conversation, we talk about what it takes to build a great team, how to harness innovation, how he manages his time, and more.

Avination, welcome back to the Pilot to Pilot podcast. Today, I am talking with Tyson Weihs, the co-founder and CEO of ForeFlight. This episode has been #interviewgoals since I started the podcast two years ago. So, to have the ability to sit down with Tyson and talk about ForeFlight was a great experience. Tyson was very open about ForeFlight, we talked about the beginning, where they are now and what the future of ForeFlight holds. On Tuesday, August 27 I'm going to post this live to everyone as well as a giveaway announcement. ForeFlight will be giving away THREE gift cards that can be used on existing or new ForeFlight accounts. All you have to do is follow @pilottopilot and @teamforeflight onInstagramm, and comment on my post your favorite part of the episode. What Tyson and I talked about... Why Tyson stumbled into a career in aviation. How the dot com crash led to a career in aviation. Tyson had a fascination with aviation as a younger kid. Flying flight simulators at a younger age. Tysons grandfather was a bombardier on a B-24 in the Pacific.

fliegermagazin Podcast #11: Tyson Weihs, Chef von ForeFlight, erklärt seine Navigations-App für die Luftfahrt
Foreflight and the iPad have revolutionized how we fly. This week hear from Foreflight co-founders Tyson Weihs and Jason Miller about how they got started, what has surprised them about their impressive run, and what's next. Plus stick around for the headlines.
Aviation years are not too different than dog years. Everything moves so fast, including obsolescence. So when you hear that ForeFlight started in 2007, it speaks loudly to the quality of the company that it has found a way to excel through all the changes in the aviation industry. Kudos to Tyson Weihs and Jason Miller for their ability to execute on the original vision and the courage to evolve that vision on an ongoing basis. Tyson joined Al and Marc tonight to share his perspective on the ride to date and insight on what's yet to come. Thanks for listening. Talk to you again next week. Until then, Blue Skies and Tailwinds.
In this podcast we review some basic distinctions regarding VSpeeds and have a visit from ForeFlight co-founder, Tyson Weihs. Happy Holidays!Fly Your Best,Jason
