Scenario
John wakes up one morning to get ready to fly him and couple friends from out of state to a party in North Carolina. Right away, he sees that there is a text message from Carmen, one of his friends. Carmen writes, in the text message, that she also sent him a video message, so he switches to his Video Messages. In her video message, Carmen tells John she is in New York City that day and gives him the address for John F. Kennedy Airport. She also gives him the address of the party in Raleigh and the airport in the city.
Then, John calls Rodney to ask which airport he'll be at, and what would be a good time to pick him up. Rodney tells him he is in Toronto that day, and gives him the address for the Toronto airport.
After the call, John pulls up his map and puts a dot at the Toronto Airport, the JFK airport, and the Raleigh-Durham International Airport. The map feature on his WingThing automatically plans his flight path for him. John then checks the weather report on his WingThing to make sure the weather is okay. He lives in Fort Wayne, Indiana, so he checks the weather for Fort Wayne, Toronto, New York City, and Raleigh. The weather report says that they are all alright, so he begins to pack his things and fly out.
