Not sure when not owning your software and data, and even the hardware it sits on, became a good idea, because....it isn't.
 
huh... 20 year old data center is really too old, unless you have a crack team.

The problem with CoLo is that you are at the mercy of the data center team to remedy the situation.
Then hope you are on their priority list (which you probably are not)

And many data centers have been bought up by VC's, gutted and run with a skeleton crew of over worked and under qualified staff.

(CoLo means Co Location, you can rent a rack just like a self storage. The sell is that you do not have to worry about security, power, environmental regulation or internet connectivity and all said systems are massively redundant)

((except they usually are NOT))

I don’t know if this is still true today, but in the recent past, call it the last 10 or 15 years, most data centers were structured as REITs rather than traditional brick and mortar businesses. I guess the tax advantages were better. I know very little about that sort of thing, but I always found it interesting.

You are correct!
It makes for transferring assets in the event of a class action or CH7

Been using logbook pro for 20 years. Only recently have I started using a cloud sync service for easier data entry.

I still log on paper too though. I’m weird.
 
Foreflight here, because at the last job it was our one stop shop for everything from checking the weather when you got a call to charts for taxiing in at the end of the trip. Sure wish they would make an airline optimized version, although now that they’re owned by PE and cutting staff i imagine all we’ll get is rapid en•tification, higher costs, and • AI features no one asked for
