Useful. That's always my favorite moment in tech classes. When you explain
to the students that in tech diving you are not expected to save your
buddy at all cost but that it's ok to say "you're fucked buddy, have fun"
and then ascend on your own...

I always wonder about these things. I tend to loath software that forces
me to play advertizing bunny for them. I don't hate what you did with the
plan, and I'm sure we could make this work nicely with the logbook pages,
but I'd prefer to do this when we have a bit more of the template system I
keep dreaming about - so that the user can remove the logo if they don't
want it.
