Okay, I don't want to sound defensive here, but you need to get off your high horse. A couple things to start with. I never said I was an instructor and I never said I was lost. I said after cutting a corner in my route I was unsure of my exact distance to the next VOR. Mind you I am inexperienced in weather flying, and dodging heavy rain in an old bone stock Cessna. I had a little extra on my plate flying the plane and not worrying about doing VOR cross cuts.
As far as charts, I can navigate an iPad (the "non-magenta line" model) much faster and more efficiently than opening up a 4'x4' wrinkly sectional in a 3'x3' Cessna. I have back up paper in my flight bag if I need them as well. At no point was I illegal or even in danger to myself or anyone else. I had a flight following the entire trip, and my only real blunder was mistaking the wrong field, which took me off course for all of 30 seconds. I guess next time I have questions about making myself a better pilot I will just hold them in and hope nothing bad happens.
I don't attend SLU so your tough guy antics will do you no good there. If you really want to make a full a** of yourself I work at Lambert, we can meet up and "chat" if you want... but the parking lots are pretty dark around those parts.
Just sayin.
